We have all gone to the movies and seen a variety of different shots. However, do we know what the shots are called? Why do we use them?

Elements and Principle Assignment

When we talk about design elements and principles, we are essentially describing the fundamental ideas of good visual design.

Remember, when we are talking about elements we are really talking about the ingredients that make a good photo. Those ingredients are:

Line, Shape, Color, Texture, Depth, Tone (value), Light and Positive and Negative Spaces

The principles are the recipes to the photos:

Balance, Emphasis, Repetition, Contrast, Unity and Harmony.

When these two are combined they make a perfect shot.

Here is your E&P Assignment

Visual Composition Assignment

We recently went over how composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art. Essentially, it's putting things together so they are pleasing to the eye.

We also reviewed what the Rule of Thirds is and how important compositional elements need to be placed along these lines or intersections to create the frames more exciting.

Taking what we have learned from our composition powerpoint shown in class, click here for your next assignment.
