Composition In Our Photography

        

 This photograph shows pattern. The parallelogram in the fence is being repeated. It is on going and the background (grass) is consistent. There is also contract between the fence and the grass. 

  There is symmetry represented in this photograph. It is shown  because both half's of the picture are pretty symmetrical. The lighter gray in the middle of the drain defines the middle point. this makes each side more clear.

           

  This picture shows a diagonal line because of the way the football players are lined up. The line they are standing on is also diagonal, starting at #56 all the way down. The presence of the white diagonal line draws your attention. It also shows perspective.

10 Top Photography Composition

I think this website is very informative. It talks about the 10 top rules of photography. There are a lot of details when they talk about each rule. I also like the fact that the pictures help you understand what everything means. Also for the Rule of Thirds, the drawn in grid really makes the concept clearer.

5 Elements of Composition

I liked this website because I find it helpful that there are pictures as examples for each rule. Sometimes things are easier to figure out with pictures, because you can visualize it. I also like the how it told you what you should do, but also gave you a few things you shouldn't do/avoid. They weren't to long but had good information.

My Personalized Logo

 These are the personalized logo's I created. To get started I had to research the meaning of my name. 

My first name meant "river water" and my last name meant "owner of royal land." The qualities I found to base my logo around where River Water, Strong, and Royal.   The images I originally thought of using for my logo where Crowns, and Jewels. I thought these objects where really affective symbols to represent my qualities, because they are so basic. If you where to look at them. Later I decided not to use those symbols. This is because it was too simple. There is more of a hidden meaning now. I decided to use a filled in outline of a girl standing with a blue swirl around her. This symbolized Strength. The blue swirl symbolizes Water, because water is strong in a way. It does not let anything go past it and is very Powerful. The girl represents Royalty because when you are royal, you are always surrounded. Royalty comes with protection, as well as being untouchable.   My logo consists on a Filled in outline of a girl and curved lines surrounding it. I chose to fill the girl in with black because I thought it would stand out the most. It is a very bold colour. The outline is very smooth and there are no hard/sharp edges. There is a blue swirl around the girl. The blue swirl is the darkest at the bottom and gets lighter as it swirls upwards. This leads your eyes in an upward motion. The lines are very smooth. They also add cleanliness. I chose to interrupt one of the center swirls with my name. While your eyes are following the swirl, you stop at the name and have to read it. The black and white logo contains the same idea. Although instead of using the blue swirls, they were changed into different shades of grey.
   
 The technical process of my logo was to draw/sketch my ideas in my sketchbook. After sketching the roughs, I used Illustrator to create it on the computer. I had to make many of them and decide which one I liked most. The logo was made using the brush tool. Later I used the typography for my name.
    
 Overall I am happy with my logo. I think it really defines me and my personality. While making my logo I learned that it is very important to try different variations of your logo.
