Proportion and Scale

Proportion and Scale

This is a copy of a collage I made with all "scenic" pictures. My favorite one is the main focus of the collage; the beach picture that I took in Maine. I think it's great with the different layers of sand and then beach and then sunrise. I also really like the one of the eagle and the clouds. The clouds look huge in comparison to the eagle which makes the eagle actually stand out a lot, I think.

Emphasis and Focal Point

Absence of Focal Point

There is no focal point in this image that I found online. It's all the same.

Emphasis by Contrast

This image I found online and the focal point is the butterfly as it completely stands out from the background.

Emphasis by Isolation

This image I found online and the focal point is definitely the red pen/marker as it sits up away from the rest of them. You are completely drawn to that one item.

One Element

This image was found online as well and the tree being colored and the rest being black and white makes it an great example of "One Element"

Emphasis by Placement

This is a great example that I found online of emphasis by placement as you are drawn right to that drooping flower out of the vase. If this drooping flower was right in the front/middle of the vase of flowers it wouldn't be nearly as emphasized and wouldn't be a focus at all.
