Composition

The wood planks with an off center dandilion is a good example of Rule of Thirds. If this picture was folded three times both vertically and horizontally the dandilion would be on a point. The horizontal lines also intersect with the four points as well. This image is a JPEG, therefore it is lossy.

This is a good example of leading lines. The lines between the flowers lead your eye directly to the subject of the photograph, which in this case is a windmill. This is a JPEG image meaning it is lossy.

This photo is a good example of framing. It also has centered an arch that frames the subject of the image. It is also a JPEG image that results in a lossy file format.

This layout represents continuance very well. It successfully pulls the viewers eye backwards. It also fills in the negative space in the bottom half of the pages balancing out the picture.


The attempted new Gap logo was a failure. The word was placed in the center therefore, making it symmetrical. The gradient box that is placed on the "p" asymmetrically does not do anything for the logo though. It pulls the viewers eye to the "p", which has no significance. This is a very poor example of balance.
