Design+Principles

 * 7 Design Principles**

Dynamic "S" Arragnement
 * The dyamatic "S" arrangement forces the eye to look around the image. The photo works because it is "S" shaped and it allows the person to wonder what is around the corner.
 * The photo makes me feel like I am in a cold environment somewhere in the arctic. The photo makes me wonder what is beyond the image.
 * The picture is contains water between two ice walls which balances out the picture. The horizon is a straight line directly above the line of the ice wall which also gives the photo a sense of balance.
 * The lighting is coming from the sun. The lighting is balanced throughout the whole picture.
 * The texture of the photo would be icy,cold,and wet.
 * The photo is focused throughout the whole photo. The image is very sharp to the eye.
 * The background is very plain. The colours blue and white, which are simple.
 * The photo is about a sunny day in a deserted cold place. [[image:ice-canyon-greenland-balog_26744_990x742.jpg width="533" height="468"]]

Depth
 * Depth draws the viewer to the picture, establishes a sense of depth and encourages people to think what things are taking place beyond the photo. Depth works because people are drawn to wonder what lies beyond the picture.
 * The photo makes me feel calm and relaxed .It also makes me feel like I am on a vacation somewhere in Italy.
 * The picture has a sense of balance because the number of boats and buildings on each side of the picture is almost equal. There is no object in the center of the photo except the water which makes the picture more interesting to look at.
 * The lighting is not coming mostly from the sun but the lighting is created by the lights on the buildings and the lights on the boats. There is a bit of lighting from the sun. The lighting in the photo creates a calming affect to the viewer.
 * The texture of the photo would be wet from the water, while the buildings and boats would have a hard surface.
 * The focus of the photo is sharp.
 * The background of the photo is complex, containing boats, people, and buildings. The sunset is beautiful and also has a calming affect on the photo.
 * The photo is about a calm evening in Italy where people from around the city go and ride boats until the sun goes down.

Element Relationship
 * The Element Relationship principle is a design principle where elements in the photo interact with one another. This works because the objects are in relation to one another therefore developing the sense that the two objects are interacting.
 * The picture makes me feel happy and lively. The picture make me appreciate the beautiful animals that thrive in the rainforests.
 * The photo contains two birds that are not directly in the center of the photo. The birds are balancing on a branch while the leaves in the background bring out the colours of the birds.
 * The lighting is natural-from the sun and is distributed throughout the photo especially near the top right and the bottom right of the photo.
 * The texture would be soft from the feathers of the birds.
 * The focus of the photo is sharp.
 * The background contains leaves which highlight the colours of the birds
 * The photo is about two birds who are enjoying each others company. The birds may be a mating pair therefore they are close to one another.



Framing
 * Framing is a design principle that encloses an object in a photo. Framing works because it creates a pathway for the eye to look at a specific item in a picture.
 * The photo makes me feel playful because of the two bears fighting and it makes me feel cold because of the enviornment the bears are in.
 * The picture has two bears making an arc with their bodies which creates a sense of balance in the photo and their bodies frame the small bear in the photo.
 * The lighting is coming from every direction in the photo therefore making the picture bright.
 * The texture of the bears would be very soft and fluffy, while the water would be wet and the snow would be cold.
 * The focus of the photo is sharp near the front where the bears are but the focus changes to being blurry behind the bears where the water is.
 * The background is simple. The background has water, plants and snow. The colours of each objects in the photo are a dull colour.
 * The photo is about two bears (both being male) in mating season which are fighting to win over the female bear in the photo.

Triangles
 * Triangles have key elements that make up the triangle. It works because it keeps the viewer looking around all three objects in the photo.
 * The picture makes me feel relaxed and calm.
 * The picture has a good use of light and dark lighting. The picture has a sense of balance because there are equal number of floating blocks in the water
 * The lighting is coming from the lights on the bridge and is reflecting against the water making it an interesting picture to look at.

 * The focus of the photo is the same throughout the entire photo.
 * The background contains a bridge and a few clouds in the sky making the picture have a simple background.

The photo is about a quite and foggy night in san francisco.

Balance
 * Balance creates a sense of geometric balance and has colour balance. It works because it creates a balanced picture that the viewer can look at.
 * The picture makes me feel happy and warm.
 * The photo is balanced because there are two large giraffes on both sides of the photo and there are two smaller giraffes between the two bigger ones. This creates a sense of balance in the photo. The colour in the photo is also balanced because the giraffes and ground are black while the sky is yellow and white.
 * The lighting is coming from the sun that is peaking out from the clouds and is shining near the top of the photo.
 * The texture of the giraffes would be soft.
 * The focus of the photo is sharp
 * The background contains a sky that is yellow and clouds that are white making the background simple.
 * The photo is about a family of giraffes exploring the vast land that they live on.

Colour Space
 * Colour space is a design principle that uses magnetic quantities of vibrant colour in the photo to enhance the object. It works because it keeps the viewer looking at the photo because of the dramatic colours.
 * The picture makes me feel alert and energized because of the vibrant colours.
 * The picture has a sense of balance because the frog is hanging from the branch of a tree, taking up the entire photo.
 * The lighting is coming from the bottom of the photo and is reflecting against the frog. The light is created by an artificial light not the sun.
 * The texture of the frog would be moist and smooth
 * The focus of the photo is throughout the entire photo.
 * The background is black because it is night time outside, therefore making the background very simple.
