Design Principles --- Matthew Panter In the picture to the left the depth shown in the photograph falls slightly to the right as the person leans to the left clearly showing the field of depth, furthering the depth with the concrete texture and the shading contrasting and lessening to a line in the distance. Direction plays a big factor in this picture, similar to depth direction makes the photo deeper, and presumably longer. Direction is shown in this picture by the ally way in between these two buildings with the road slowly turning to the left. The texture of the wet ground brings out the light from the sky on what looks like a rainy day. Hard to make out what's deep in the background proving the sense of direction and depth in this photo.

Balance - in this photo these rocks are set-up to balance in a unique arrangement, with the background kind of blurry it gives a even more of a sense of balance. The textures of the rocks give this photo a true pose of balance from a jagged big rock standing on its point, to round small pebbles all balancing on another rock. This photo shows the balance in earth simply by rocks.



Hundreds of Triangles are shown in this picture of what looks like a tall electrical tower from right underneath. The beauty of all these triangles from this angle makes this photo seem like its something its not just because of the different perspective shown. The texture looks like lines but is cast iron and weighs many tons. The background being the sky makes the triangles of material simple to look at and easy to follow.

Planes and Depth- In this picture of a landscape partly covered by snow goes on into the distance showing the level of depth in what looks like a not very big area of land. The contrasting color of snow vs. grass bring out the plane of depth with the thin line of sky in the background.

The color and space shown in this picture perfectly fit with each other, contrasting red vs blue with a clear background spreads out the focus of color and space. Simple picture with a complex set-up and arrange for this picture.

Element relationship is easily visable in this photo, with the deep lush green grass in the front with the calm meadow in an "S" shape flowing into the rest of the creek smoothly and softly showing the element relationship in the woods by this little opening of water. I especially like this picture because of how the element relationship "flows" all together to make this beautiful picture.
