Assignment 2: Composition

The lesson never stopped there people. We were taught a few things related to our assignment:

Composition

The process of placing, arranging, and rearranging text and graphics on a plane. Able to convey the message to the target audience.

Format

There are formats that you can use to depict your design, whether it's in landscape (horizontal), portrait (vertical), and circular.

Layout

Two types which are symmetrical or asymmetrical.


Grid

Order and consistency using columns and rows.

Rule Of thirds

The breaking the board up into thirds and placing elements along the upper lines and at the intersection to avoid discomforting tangents. It also gives the object room to breathe visually by providing more negative space.

The Assignment

The assignment was to build a 12x9 inch and 1.5 inch thick frame from a mounting board. The frame is our viewfinder that we can use to help us in taking a picture with good composition.


We were tasked to choose a subject matter (a doorknob, electrical outlet, and etc) and take pictures of it with the right amount of composition. I choose dustbins as my subject matter and I didn't get as many pictures of dustbins as I would've hoped for. Here are some of the pics:







So we came back to class for our work to be reviewed by Ms. Lisa and my work was okay but there was one picture(which was a very lucky shot) which she said had a very good composition. Also, she adviced me to keep taking pictures like this:
Ta-daa!
