Photographer Willow Downer printed this image on paper. Compositional techniques used are level horizon, fill the frame, rule of thirds, and framing. The most interesting of these techniques is the framing, because even though there was a wide range of space Willow was still able to use the tree to frame the pavilion in the background. The element incorporated was texture by using it within the grass and the trees, along with the pavilion. Principles were asymmetrical balance with the pavilion being on just one half of the photo. Another principle is emphasis which was put in place by using the compositional technique of framing.

Helen Le Voi The photographer Helen Le Voi printed this image on paper. Compositional techniques that were incorporated include leading lines, which allow us to move easily throughout the image, even though it is still a very simple image. Elements of design used were texture, which we see at the top of the dandelion with the seeds, allowing us to see what this image is. Principles of design focused on include balance and emphasis. This image contains symmetrical balance, because we could just fold it in half and have similar halves. Emphasis was an easy one, because there is only one object within the image which allows us to focus on what the photographer wanted to emphasize.



Serdar Bilici photographed this image and printed it on the media of water color paper. She used fill the frame as her compositional technique, by making the cat take up the entire picture. The elements incorporated by the photographer were texture and form. Texture was placed on the cat's fur and the wood it is sitting on. Form was created by the use of texture and tone, to create a three dimensional object, such as the cat within this image. The principle of design would have to be emphasis, which was put in place by the fill the frame compositional technique, because there is nothing else we can look at but eh cat, especially withe the blurred out background. Also due to her ability crop out the background because she almost left out every part of the image except the cat.
