Emphasis And Contrast

-

 Now let's move forward and look at  other Principles of Design, which are Emphasis and Contrast. Emphasis is a strategy that aims to draw the viewer’s attention to a specific design element. The emphasis part of a composition is the one that stands out the most or appears closest to you. While Contrast, occurs when two or more visual elements in a composition are different.  In visual perception of the real world, contrast is determined by the difference in the color and brightness of the object and other objects within the same field of view.

Both these Principles are very important aspect for any design, but they are most important in the field of Photography. And in order to display that, I have attempted several compositions using 4 main grids of photography. These grids are- Golden Spiral, Golden Grid, Pyramidal and last but not the least- Rule of Third. Keeping these grids in mind one can get some aesthetically pleasing and balanced pictures, so let's look at what I have tried!

First Composition

For the first composition, my main subject are a pair of sandals.

1. Golden Grid


2. Golden Spiral


3. Pyramidal 


4. Rule of Third


Second Composition

For the second composition, my main subject is my Cousin. These pictures are from this new year, where me and my family took a trip. And because of the scenic view of the beach I was compelled to try clicking the pictures according to these four grids!

1. Golden Grid


2. Golden Spiral


3. Pyramidal 


4. Rule of Third



Third Composition

For the third composition, my main subject was a bottle of Perfume. Here, I went a little extra and tried to experiment with the lighting and the striking color contrast.

That's all folks!

Harmony

You know the drill. I'll be now taking about another fundamental Principal of Design which is Harmony. I find this aspect the most interesting since it's all about achieving coherence. Harmony is basically a visually satisfying effect of combining similar or related elements. And to show you the closest example of Harmony, I have tried an Installation art this time. For those of you who don't know, Installation art refers to a large scale, mix media construction, which is often designed for a specific place or for a temporary period of time. Sounds interesting right? Let's have a look at it then! For any design here has to be an inspiration, a story or a good concept behind it. And similarly, for my Installation art, I wanted to display the concept of 'Dual Personality ' through Abstract art . I wanted to show the contrast in our personalities, where one side of our personality is what we show to everyone and the other part is which we try to hide from the socie...

Social Structure

My previous blogs revolved mainly around the idea of society and its institutions. Now, as an assignment we've been asked to observe and connect the social structure within the boundaries of our home and extended family in terms of hierarchy, income and individuality. So, let's get started! Family structure usually inculcates the members of a household who are linked by marriage or bloodline. But changes in family life have resulted in more complicated designations of this structure. Today we have nuclear, joint, blended and many other types of families. But here I'll be mainly focusing on my family structure, that is, Joint family , which embodies six members, that is, my grandparents, parents and me and my younger brother.  Now, let's start by looking at the hierarchy in my family. When I say hierarchy, I am referring to the power and roles of every family member. And as far as I know, important decisions in my family are made by my grandparents or my father. Though...
