colour scheme

I chose an analogous color scheme because i want my piece to be calm and mellow, rather than clashing and contrasting. I picked blue-green, blue, and violet because i want my project to be overall cool toned.

Photos with Line

Emphasis

in this photo, the eye is immediately drawn to the silver star on the cover of the notebook, because it is a bright and shiny shape on an all black space. 

Movement

the orange dividers between the pages, and the papers themselves show line and flow from the left side to the right, with the metal spiral. the spiral then leads the eye up the right side toward the geometric shapes above the notebook. 

Variety

as you can see, there are folds and imperfections in the pages and dividers. the edges of the paper being slightly askew and misaligned adds variety to the photo.

Emphasis

the emphasis of this photo is definitely the large triangle in the center. the intersecting silver line points toward the middle of it, directing your vision to the focal point. 

Movement

the two parallel lines bring your eyes to the small triangle, then to the larger one in the center.

Variety

the lines of the notebook paper serve as a background that directly relates to the drawn lines. there are black lines and also silver, and the contrast between them adds variety. 

Emphasis

the focal point of this photo is the small notch in the wood toward the top. it draws your attention because it is the lightest part. it also is right on the border of were the wood is lighter, and where it is darker on the right side. 

Movement

the grain of the wood flows vertically and curves to the right slightly. when you see the chip at the top, your eyes go to the screw, then the scuff toward the bottom, and then to the contrast between the light and dark parts of wood. 

Variety

the different tints to the wood, it works like a background behind the lines of the grain. there is a dark spot on the right, and the screw, scuff, and chip on the light side of the wood balance the left and right sides.
