This project introduced me to the six principal elements of design: shape, space, size, line, texture, and value. This project had me take six different pictures, each of them with one of the elements of design as the most prominent characteristic. I then had to sequence my photographs in a way that connected them through the elements of design. In order from top to bottom, my photos are sequenced in order of line, size, shape, texture, space, and value; they in turn are linked by space, shape, texture, line, and value, from top to bottom. There were a lot of different photos taken in the process of making this sequence, because the photos had to clearly demonstrate one element, while also connecting to others in some way. This connection really made me think about the composition of my photos in a new way, and so I had to decide to retake a lot of my photos to get the elements just right.
