Principles of Design Variety

Highlights:-84
Shadows:-11
Whites:+30

This photo shows variety because it uses both emphasis and leading lines. The eye is first focused on the statue. Then, we follow what the statue is looking at, and it follows the veranda in the background. Finally, the eye ends on the green shrubs on the other end of the walkway. In a way, the veranda serves as a bridge to cross the white walkway.

Principles of Design Unity

Highlights:-45
Shadows:+15
Also cropped the photo

This photo has unity because the picture looks well balanced and has a feeling of equality of the photo. The photo is filled with many details but has focus points, the overhand and the bell tower. Furthermore, the colors of rust red, green, white, and blue creates a sense of completeness.

Lens Photo - Variety

This photo shows variety by using the principles of design of  balance and lines to create variety in the photo.
1.The balance comes from the equal amounts of whites and blacks in the photo, and the various textures included.
2.The leading lines comes from the flute and then carries on the the male drumming, and then carries on to the women dancing in the background.
3. The photo also uses emphasis on the two people in the front in order to cause the eye to look at those people first.

Principles of Design Emphasis



Contrast:-24
Whites: -33
Blacks:28

The yellow fire hydrant stands out from the green background. Since the fire hydrant was the only yellow thing in the background, and the majority of the picture is green grass, the difference in color as well as texture between the rough grass and the smooth fire hydrant creates emphasis.I also used rule of thirds in this picture in order to focus more attention on the fire hydrant.

The balance of this photo comes from the conflicting lines and the different colors. The lines are going at different directions but connect at the ends. Also, the bell in this photo counters the asymmetrical symmetry in the photo.
