National Geographics Phtotography

Layers Desert Scene Sept 20/2010

In this photoraph,I duplicated the layer and darkened the foreground layer using levels. Then I erased the foreground layer to allow the lighter background to shine through. Finally, I flattened the image and dogged and burned in areas that needed to be enhanced in both the foreground and background.

Peer Evaluation

Use the following considerations to help you evaluate your peers page layout.
1. Background does not distract from the main image, provides support to the theme or topic and helps to establish the mood of the page.

2. Art objects are used to help off set the headers and provide a sense of order ( sight line ) to the page layout.

3. Headers are used in an appropriate manner. The text and fonts help to contribute to the mood and theme.

4. Photographs are used to tell the story in an oderly fashion with a lead image, supporting images that vary in size. All images have had photo protocols applied.

5. Textblocks follow the columns format and use a sarif font.

Framing The Portrait

Framing Portrait

Use the landscape to help create the frame.



Use objects to help frame the subject.

Use shapes and lines to add direction toward the subject.

Framing The Subject

The photograph above is a good example of framing the subject of the photograph. Using existing objects or landscapes can center the attention of the viewer and help create an emphasis to the composition. Also, a good sense of center of attention creates an impact on the viewer's eyes and adds a sense of drama.

Portrait Assignment

Leading Line Portrait

Rule of Thirds Photography

This photograph illustrates the use of thirds. By dividing the picture plane into thirds and placing important elements of the composition on one or more of the intersections, a more dynamic image is created which provides for tension to occur between two or more points of interest in the composition. In addition, the use of strong shadow lines and 'bird's eye view' camera angle, helps add drama and direct the viewer's attention.

Priority

Order Of Importance

The poster above uses the following graphic concepts to create 'order of importance':

White space

Emphasis

Rule of thirds

Size of image

Placement

The importance of organizing a composition helps the viewer to scan the poster or project in an orderly manner. It tells the viewer to look here first then here and so on. This sequence enables a purposeful distribution of information and avoids confusion and ambiguity.
