Smile! Grid/composition

With this picture, I chose a 5x3 grid. I tried to balance out the value with one side being light and one darker. The textures are also balanced from not so textured on the left, to more textured on the right. My message is that the smiles are proof enough that they are in love, so I lined up the words with their smiles (to direct the viewer's eyes to the smiles) while still using the grid spacing.

Composition/Grids assignment

I used the rule of thirds with my picture. I really liked how the bodies create the center/focal point of the picture and then the little quote that continues with the grid system I created. And it's my own picture, not something I found on the internet... I mean, bonus point for that. ;) The end.

INFINITE Composition

I just had fun making some abstract art with song lyrics.
I used fifths across and thirds vertically.

composition/grid

When creating this image I wanted to keep it simple and clean. I used the rule of thirds to place the snakes head in the upper right side and also place the snake in the optical center of the page. I also used asymmetrical composition to balance the image and the copy (the snakes head in comparison with the first letter of the copy). 

I chose this image because I loved the almost symmetrical balance created by the snake and the bird. I chose to add in a bold and large text underneath the snake to add a stable base to the image. I used a bright color for "more" and decided to balance it out with more muted tones in "explore." I also made it more visually pleasing by implying a triangle with the bird, the M from more and the Snake. I used colors from the original image to give it a natural and exotic feel and to limit my color choices. I aligned the E of explore with the center line of the image to keep the image balance.

I applied the rule of thirds to my picture by using a grid to crop it. I added my text on the opposite side to fill the empty space in order to balance out the picture. I also put the text at the bottom to add extra weight in order to make it look more firm and stable (top to bottom) because the picture is top heavy (clouds and mountains).

I chose a light blue color for the text to represent the color found in the sky and the ocean color which was washed out by the sunlight and the intensity of the waves. The words are placed in a way to look as if they were following the footsteps. The font I chose has lines that are soft enough to communicate the feeling of ease that the picture exudes yet structured enough to communicate the deeper meaning of the message.

Composition/Grid Assignment

I tried to implement asymmetrical symmetry using the rule of fifths. The photo was previously completely in color with little to no clear focal point for the eye to follow, so I chose to only color the  two flowers that most closely lines up with the rule of fifths grid and were different sizes to draw attention to the asymmetry create something for the eye to follow.
