I think this photograph shows selective focus, because it focuses on the football players fighting on the ground and everything else is a little blurred out and out of focus. Your eye automatically goes to the fighting football players, making them the main point, or center attraction of this photograph. The rest of the background is blurred, slightly but noticeably creating an interesting and different feel and illusion displayed by this photograph.

I think this picture shows depth of field and linear perspective. It shows depth of field because there is a good amount of distance from the objects closest to you, and the object farthest away from you, It shows linear perspective because of the tile lines on the floor, and once again, the amount of distance in the picture. The lines and the objects converge in the distance, adding on to the effect of depth of field in this photograph.

I think this picture also shows depth of field and the diagonal line. Depth of field because of the space between the '#10' football player, and the cheering crowd at the other end of the field/picture. This shows the diagonal line, because if you follow the heads of the football players, you'll see that they move your eye in a diagonal line across the field. The white line drawn on the football field helps too, because it gives you the essence of an actual visible diagonal line.

Photo Composition

Rules of photo Composition are very important. :)))
This first website differentiates the different photo composition rules, and gives us individual pictures and media examples to help us better understand what makes a good photograph, and what to avoid when taking a picture.


This next website helps us understand Photo Composition by displaying grid lines and diagonal lines so we can enhance on our knowledge of rules such as The Rule Of Thirds and The Golden Section Rule, both really important rules to know and take note of.

Logo Assignment

This is my logo. The first one is in colour, and the second one is the same image in a black and white effect.

This logo was made to represent me and what my name means. Research proved my name meant graceful and elegant, as well as delightful and energetic. Those were the qualities I used to create this logo. 

I then researched more about the characteristics of the name to get into more detail. I found out that dance was a common denominator for the qualities from before, specifically ballet.

In the colour version of my logo, i used a pale blue-green, subtly in the shape of a random swirl in the back. I also added a drop shadow of the same blue-green colour. I chose the font 'Zapfino' because of it's elegance and simplicity. It represented the logo perfectly and it gave the entire piece a more finished look. The type of line I used in this piece was a thin white line, outlining only a few of my dancers physical attributes. I chose to put a swirl in the background to represent a ribbon, a prop used by most ballerinas worldwide. I chose to put the swirl behind the actual image because it wouldn't interfere with the entire image and I liked the way the dancer seemed to be physically infront of her ribbon giving an unrealistic look to it. 

This logo was made using the pen tool on Adobe Illustrator and this was a new concept for me, as a designer. It was difficult to get the correct line type on my image because of the awkward position of the dancer. The hands and hair were difficult to do, because the fingers on the hand were placed oddly, and the hair was really big and full, making it difficult to get each curl correctly, but i got the hang of it, and i will definately be using this tool more as I grow as a designer. I also learned how to use layers correctly for their right purpose and the layers are a great tool to help keep organized, and I'm glad I learnt to use this tool as well.

I'm really happy with the way my logo turned out, and I think it represents me perfectly. The colour, shape, and line all look great to me, and seems almost too professional to be called my artwork.
