Review Week 5

Because several different geometric shapes are used in this design, it is a great example of shape. Even though this entire design is made up completely by shapes, the design is still extremely interesting to look at.   Not only does the color attract my eyes, but the unusual lines cutting the shapes in half is very cool. Although shapes may seem like they don't affect a design, they can make the difference in it.

This design is created completely by lines. In fact, the lines used are deep, acute curves, which suggest confusion and turbulence, as in violent waves in storms, like the ones here. Because the design is off center and tilted, movement and direction are implied in the image. Even though it may not seem like it, lines can have a huge impact on the meaning of a picture.

These rocks are a great example of texture because I feel like if I reach out, I could literally touch the rough rocks. This picture thoroughly conveys texture because the shapes and sizes are different, they are positioned off center and are staggered, and there are some spots that are darker than others. Texture helps create a feeling of richness and depth in this picture, like it should to any other picture that incorporates texture.  

This design is an example of space. Because there is only one color in the background, it makes the picture very simple. In addition, the dark background, keeps each element seem distant from the other ones. Since there is nothing in the exact center of the picture, my eyes are drawn to the next closest thing, the ferris wheel. Space can have several different effects on one design.

This picture represents value well because even though there are only two colors used in the design, there are different shades of black. This effect creates a contrast, which makes the picture appear real and look like a real zebra. Because of the contrast in the design, it helps distinct certain lines and parts of the animal. Value, or tone, also conveys moods and attracts attention from the viewers.
