Photo Composition


Sorry for the lateness of my blog post, its been a hectic few days with me being out of town welcoming my new niece, Allie Claire!!

Leading Lines:
I feel like this is a great example of leading lines because of the dirt road. The two separate lines lead your eyes straight to the couple walking down and draws your attention directly to them and the love they have for each other, which is the sole purpose of an engagement shoot.

Simplicity:
This photo captures plain simplicity because its main focus in the engagement ring on the barbed wire fence. There are also elements of subject background because of the hay bale in the distance that give it another element of composition. This photo is in JPEG format and is lossy.  


Centering:
The mother and her two precious sons is a perfect example of centering to me. The main focus is the family and that is exactly where your eyes are drawn. There are also elements of subject background here as well because of the grain silo behind the three. This photo is in JPED format and is lossy.

Good and Bad Examples

I think it may be rather obvious that the above logo is my example of a bad logo. The designer tried to go with an old marquee theme and used way too many textures and the colors are pretty violent. The different fonts that were used are pretty terrible as well. The logo isn't proportionate and has no flow or direction. 



The Beeline logo is a great example of good design. It is clean and simple and the focus is on the name of the company, which is the whole purpose of a logo. The colors are fitting and there is a good flow throughout. Giddy Up Glamour should definitely take some pointers from the graphic designers at Beeline.
