Horizon Variations-
Exercise 1 -
Krause in his book 'Basic Design Index' says ''varied measurements around point of interest tend to heighten the visual interest and energy of the piece and convey a sense of creativity." To understand this concept we were made to do a simple exercise.We took a sheet of grid paper and we had to place dots in different places such that they were not equidistant from the vertical or horizontal sides of the paper.The unequal placement of dots heightens the aesthetics and creates different patterns which convey different feelings and thoughts.
Exercise 2 -
In this exercise, we were given two photographs and through Photoshop techniques we had to crop up the photographs to give it a different meaning. In the first photo,I cropped out a part of the sky as otherwise the picture did not really have a focus. At the same time, there appeared a lot of clutter of the electricity poles ,which were adding to the confusion. Now the focus is the road and it gives a feeling of going on a journey as you feel you are in the driver's seat . There is a sense of movement and a sense of belonging.
In the second photo,I cropped out a portion of the road ,which shifted the focus to the sky, to the height of the buildings and the lampposts , which further enhanced the visual impact of the sky. We realize that just by shifting the horizon up or down in a photograph ,we can visually attain different perspectives. It is a great help when we are trying to emphasize on something and want to create a certain impact.
