Design Terms

Negative Space:

This picture represents negative space.

The way the white ceramic is in the

jewelry shop has the black behind it

creates that negative space.

Figure Ground:

This picture was taken in the theme restaurant

in Delhi. This has a since that the figure is lighter

and takes up more space. In the background it's

darker so it accents the photo.

Grid System:

This was taken at Whistling Woods film school.

This was a mock up of what one of their new

buildings was gonna look like. The grid is in the

center creating a grid systems.

Hierarchy:

I put this picture as hierarchy because

it shows the monkeys dominating

over the Indians. It is interesting

because they have taken over the

vehicle and it captures a great

moment of hierarchy.

Eye Flow:

This was taken at eye level. It was a counter

at the bottom of Reliant Media. It looks

cool because it continues on and on down

the flow of eye line.

Gestalt:

Gestalt is something that doesn't touch but

creates something else. This her is a view

looking up at a light fixture at Mainland

China. Even though the lights are circles

and they don't touch they still have the visual

of creating a rectangle.

Alignment:

This is a diagonal alignment but if

you look at the columns dead on

then they are aligned with one another.

The go a little diagonal but they still

create a line. This was taken at the

tomb in Agra. It had beautiful

architecture.

Proximity:

I picked this photo because it was

taken in close proximity to me. It

is a close up of a huge elephant.

It was taken outside of are hotel

in Agra. The man was on the street

just walking his elephant and it

came up to us.

Symmetrical Balance:

Symmetry is something that just by

looking at an object you can cut

it and half and it will look the same

on either side just like in this picture.

This was taken at the holy well in

Ahmedabad. It's a shot looking up

through the well.

Asymmetrical System:

It's like being symmetrical but there

is something that throws it off. With

this picture you see the people on the left

and down at the other end. So it throws

the symmetry off.

Scale:

This was a high scale to low scale picture.

I did it so you could see it like a shelf as

the drinks go up. This was taken right

outside of the Marble temple in Mt.

Abu. It's school because you see

the height scale of the drink bottles

and cans.

Unity:

This picture reminded me of unity. I see

unity when I look at it because the flowers

are all coming together and the candle unites

them in the middle. It's like a wedding ceremony

when they light the unity candle.

Contrast:

This was taken at the lake in Mt.

Abu. It was some vendor guy sell

berries and seasons. The contrast

part of the picture are the colors

and the sizes that are involved. It

is also how each one is in contrast

to the other.

Perspective:

This is the perspective picture

because there is a horizon that

is in the middle of the picture.

You eye leads to that point in the

horizon. This was taken at the Agra

Fort across from the Taj.

Point of View:

This would be a point of view picture

because it's my point of view looking

up the stairs. This was taken at the

bottom by the pool at our hotel in

Delhi. It was also cool because it was

night and the lights were glowing.

Mass:

The famous Taj Mahal is my mass.

It is so huge in mass and so beautiful.

This also represents how big it is and

wide it is.

Repetition:

When we were in Jaipur we went to

this palace. In this picuture there

are a bunch of guns that go around

and make a circle. I used this for

repetition because it was being

repeated so many times. One

object made a completely different

shape because of repetition.

Rhythm:

I chose the spices in the market for rhythm.

Rhythm is the way things move or flow together

and what better way to say rhythm than spices.

Each one has to go with another one and some

point in time. So these all being different amounts

creates a rhythm with the picture.

Proportion:

Food proportion is what this picture

describes. the proportion to the table

and the plate with this giant bread

bowl is crazy. Also with the water glass

sitting at the end of the table shows

the proportion to the bread bowl.

Thank you Havmor.

Tension:

This was take outside the palace

in Jaipur. These guards didn't

realize I was taking a picture of

them arguing. This is causing

tension between the two subjects.

It also shows tension in the picture.

Kinetic Sequencing:

On the way to DDB Mudra in Mumbai we

pasted this wall of weird birds painted on it.

First of all I hate birds and second of all I

thought this could be a form of kinetic

sequencing since they all could go together

kinetically and the pattern is in a

sequence of going over and over again.
