Design Elements
Introduction
The Design Elements section of my project website showcases photographs that exude each of the seven design elements. These elements include line, color, space, shape/form, size/scale, texture, and value.
Finding images in the world that include the element of line was easy for me. Lines were the first element I noticed, and I found them everywhere. In photography, lines don’t always have to be literal two-dimensional lines. They can actually be three-dimensional shapes that form a line to the eye, and for this reason, I started seeing lines in the world all around me. Color is also an easy element to find. We have so much color in our world, and for my photographs of the element, color, I just looked for the most vibrant colors I could find. I found that a lot of what I consider as space would be open fields or open space with mountains in the background. I was able to use a lot of landscape images for my photographs of the element of space. For shape/form, I found a lot of three-dimensional objects to include in my photos. For size/scale, I chose to show either small items very close up or large items very far away. This way, the viewer of the photographs could see how something large can look small when photographed from a distance, and something small can look large when photographed up close. For texture, I took close-up photographs of very textured items so that the viewer could really see the texture of the item. And for value, I chose to take several photos and share the values in color as well as in black and white. Showing a photograph in black and white really showcases the values within the photo.
There are seven subpages to this section. Hover over the word "Design Elements" on the main website menu to view the subpages which have photos that represent each of the seven elements of photography.
