Reflection

Today i went for a walk around Coogee beach and i thought about the different aspects to design, here are some of the principles that i saw along the way and took photos off:



Color:
Using different shades of one colors gives an image much depth as well as bringing some sort of visual stimulation to an otherwise boring scene.

Contrast:
Like the photo of the pink flowers, i think its important to have contrast in whatever design is being created. Contrast helps give a sense of depth and dimension.

Texture:
This photo of a trunk from a Eucalyptus tree has alot of texture to it. This aspect in my opinion gives much character to an object.

Movement:
From observing these hanging branches, you can really start to understand animation through cause and effect. When the branch flows one way parts of the vine is met with resistance by the air which causes it to arc at the bottom and equally when it starts to fall back to its original position when the winds ceases. For every action there is a reaction.

Light:
From looking at this picture of a leaf, it helps a designer determine how best to make an object in an image appear to have thickness and also what its made off. The light shinning through the leaf tells us that it is very thin and delicate.
It also shows us where the light and the object orientate themselves within the picture.
Once again, this sort of principle and approach to design can lead to realistic designs with contrast and depth.
