Fifth Reading:
On page 67 the text says that: "we face a new compositional challenge with each design we make". This is quite true. for the project "photo montage" I went through three unique designs; each with it's own compositional needs.
In the end there is unity among the general subject matter but variety in each element (photo). As I consider my final product I realize that I embrace the concrete; what can be clearly defined or proven.
The product has a grouping, a containment (the white border), some repetition, proximity, continuity, balance, a pattern, and fusion. Beyond that I also see symmetry, balance,
Early in my composition I tended towards am asymmetrical approach but found it unappealing.
Must be very gestaltic!
Great post, but can you upload a picture to highlight the statement? Me like images! :)
ReplyDeleteImages? except for the one I drew in my notebook the only image was the final product.
