Principles of Design
Balance, Contrast/Emphasis, Movement, Pattern, Repetition, Rhythm, Unity/Harmony.

Photograph a simple subject with a variety of backgrounds, angles, lighting and distances using principles of design.

What to do………………………………………………
Excess- a simple concept packed with potential symbolism and cultural connotations. Construct and design frames using the concept “excess” using different principles of design scenarios each time. Use the Principles of Design definitions from your work sheet as your guide and try a least one of each principal. Really push the boundaries, meaning, and visual concept.

Be creative, using digital photography. Make 2 + contact sheets, seven- 5 x 7 working prints (one of each principle), and one 8 x 10 print of your best for your portfolio. Post best images on and in your blog/journal. We will have a critique on the due date.

Evaluation………………………………………………Each print will be out of 5 marks, part marks will be awarded for the following:
1 composition with clear use of design principles, 2 technical exposure and appropriate use of depth of field and shutter speed, 3 darkroom/Photoshop proficiency (not too much contrast, not too little), 4 originality, and 5 professional presentation.
