THEY ARE HERE!!!!!: COMPOSITION EXERCISES

[Fabs Forns]

They are here!!!!!

We are going to use black squares to evoke the following feelings: ORDER, INCREASE, BOLD, CONGESTED, TENSION, PLAYFUL.
No colors are to be used, although you can used shades of gray and gradients. Use the squares as layers so you can move them around. The transform tool will be very handy to scale or rotate. Be creative and OWN your space!

Example of BOLD

Composition Exercise BOLD

I started off with this major design and realized for me bold was all about color and hard lines so I give you both versions of what I felt bold to be. At least I feel that way today!!
I woke up this morning and this does not feel as bold as it did last night-I would make the center square larger-today.

What emotion does this invoke in you?

 

[Fabs Forns]

Tskkkkk, James, no colors but shades of gray

ORDER!


Fabs,
I deleted the offending post. I will read the fine print next time.

Thought James could be playful too. Denise I like your bold, and David good one for tension. Hope to get some posted on the W/E. Great exercise. Makes you think about your viewfinder and composing before you press the shutter button!

Tension

This is Tension...one false move, gust of wind and the blocks tumble..hope this is what your looking for

 

[Paul Lagasi]

Order

The 3 blocks in order of colors..black to white, centered...Order

 

[Fabs Forns]

Doing good, guys

 

[Roman Kurywczak]

Here's my addition. I'd say playful and even though not listed.....motion.

 

[denise ippolito]

Really cool!!

 

[David Thomasson]

BOLD

 

[denise ippolito]

David, That's great!!

This is my idea of ORDER

 

[Roman Kurywczak]

another one.........this for tension! Even though this follows the ROT position.......one block out of place causes a very large amount of tension and chaos. If you look at this for any amount of time......your eye always goes to the out of place box. Very similar to photography.....takes one out of place to tuin an orderly composition.
