Elements of Design

Camera: Nikon Digital

For this assignment we were asked to shoot either photos resembling the principles of design or the elements of design. I chose the elements of design. The six elements of design are shape & form, color, space, texture, and line. I shot the photos above on two separate occasions. The first was a photo shoot I did on an old ship. I was able to find the elements texture, shape, form, and line while shooting. For my next photo shoot I went to Coronado beach. Here I shot pictures of the beach at sunset. The sunset created a beautiful collaboration of colors that reflected off the water. The beach naturally is wide and spread out, giving the element of space.

I found this assignment very helpful in learning about the elements of design. I feel like I have gained more knowledge about each element. I've learned how each element can add to creating the perfect picture.
