Principles of Design(Emphasis)

This photo shows emphasis on the window frames, which have a bell shape. The pale brick really draws attention to the defining shape of the windows

Principles of Design(Rhythm)

This photo demonstrates rhythm because the beams are curved, which is a unique shape for supporting beams, which tend to be straight. It makes design more interesting and pleasing to the eyes

Principles of Design(Repetition)

We see repetition in this photo because we see identical, multiple light structures that are grouped closely together, to help shoppers see at night

Principles of Design(Balance)

This photo demonstrates balance because we can clearly see that the vertical beam is an equal distance from both sides of the doorway, which is part of the design to stabilize the structure

Principles of Design(Variety)

This photo has variety because we see several different principles such as rhythm, balance, and patterns like in the way all of the columns are equally spaced and look aesthetically pleasing while we can see patterns on the ceiling

Shutter Speed and Everything After

My partner's name is Vicky Pham 

1. We chose fast shutter speed because that way you can capture more action

2. Vicky's rule is leaving space because it is easier to focus on a single subject that way in a photograph and my rule is symmetry because symmetry is found in nature as well as in man-made structures which means you can find it in almost any setting

3. Form is an element of art that means the distinctive "feel" of an of an object for example a leaf has a nature form

4. Balance is a principle of design that means everything in a picture looks like it belongs to the picture, nothing is out of place. For example a photo of a rose that has the whole rose not just part of one
