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.

Also, the photo also has a bit of variety between the different parts of the photo to keep the rhythm exciting and different.

5. Parks was initially offered $5000 for his book, but eventually was offered $10000.

Principles of Design Repetition

Exposure: -0.65
Shadows:-14
Whites:-30
Blacks:+5
Vibrance:-29
Saturation:-13
This photo demonstrates repetition because the warning cones are repeated in an orderly fashion and they all have the same pattern. In addition, the cones are all of the same style and vary in color only by a little. This creates a sense of unity in the photo.
