Design Elements

This picture is a good example of  the following:
A big mix between static and dynamic lines all over the place. It contains outlines of buildings, many contour lines that show what the building is made up of, it shows sketch lines that are buildings and there are also salligraphic lines int the four signs of four of the buildings. There are many horizontal, vertical, spiral, and angular lines all  over the picture. There are many geometric shapes like squares, circles, and little peices of triangles if you look closely. There is more positive shapes than there are negative shapes. I suppose there are a mix of different dynamic and static shapes everywhere. If I were to try and give an emotion I'd say it would be a little bit of sabiliy , protectiveness with a little bit of action because of the many squares a few circles and little bits of triangles. I can't really find a texture and there aren't many colors to give it much life and the tone would be a mix of light and darkness because of the colors.


Since I the first picture, I'd say, didn't have much good examples of some things I decided to use this other picture. This picture, unlike the other one has organic shapes of flowers more negative shapes than the other one and still plenty positive shapes. I'd say this picture has a nice calm emotion. I'd say it has a nice and smooth texture with a nice mix of the colors green and blue. This picture also has some other lines like directional lines and and swirly lines and it also seem to be moving from left to right. This value is also light and dark like the first picture I put up.

Out of these two pictures I managed to show you at least all of the elements of design that I have learned in my graphic design class.
