Project 1: Emphasis Techniques

Contrast, Framing, Leading Lines, Repetition, Rule of Thirds

Fort Langley and Pacific Academy campus

Contrast

Fort Langley

                           

 The white bike stands out from the dark background of bushes. 

Framing

Fort Langley

The bridge railing frames the lake scene beyond it.

 Pacific Academy

The bookshelves frame Olivia AS SHE STANDS IN DEFIANCE OF SOCIETY AND ITS RULES CAUSE SHE DOESN’T GIVE A YAM.

Leading Lines

 Fort Langley

The lines of the wooden structure lead the viewers’ eye to Olivia, who stands near the opening.

Pacific Academy 

Strong lines draw your attention to Olivia as she stares in wonder at the hallway she has never walked down before.

Repetition

Fort Langley 

The string of lights continues ofF INTO THE DISTANCE, NEVER-ENDING, UNCHANGING, INTERMINABLE, PERPETUAL, INFINITELY EXTENDING, FORGING INTO THE UNKNOWN, ETERNALLY ADVANCING INTO THE WORLD, EVEN AS YOU WONDER HOW MUCH FREE TIME I HAVE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY NOT VERY MUCH.

Rule of Thirds

 Fort Langley

Olivia holds a snail she named Gary on her hand as he leaves a trail of slime and dirt/poo. He is on the right third of the photo. The black void on the bottom left represents his dark side, one that delights in evil and ooooooooooooAHAHHAHAHAHH

Pacific Academy

The flower is off-center in the photo, creating emphasis on it.
