__Design Principles:__ By Kristen Mohninger
 * 1) Depth- depth creates a sense of something more than there actually is, it draws the viewer into the photograph with different perspective.

a)This photo makes me feel interested on what was going on, the little girls foot is all covered in the sand, suggesting she had a pretty eventful day. It makes me remember the days at the beach i used to have with my family. b) The picture is balanced with being simplistic all that this photograph contains is the girl and a simple background. c. The lighting is natural, from the sun and is coming from the left corner and stretching across the little girl's body. d. The sand on her foot creates a great sense of texture, it looks so realistic and almost as if when you touch it it will feel gritty and will stick to you. e. The focus of the photo is on the girls foot, covered in sand. f. The background is very simple and an uncluttered ocean scape, that you can barely see because the girl is blocking it. g. the photo is about the little girl's day at the beach, getting all sandy and sitting in the sun, the expression on her face tells as if she doesn't enjoy the feeling.

2. Direction- direction guides the viewer's attention to the focus of the photograph, by using directional lines, etc.

a)This photo makes me miss Creston, BC, a town where my grandparents live, it reminds me of the long drive there. b)The picture is balanced by the sense of colours, good variety of colours without being to cluttered. c) The lighting is also natural but quite faint in some areas, you can tell it was not a sunny day when the photographer took this. d) The textures used you can plainly tell, the road is smooth while the leaves and trees are rougher. e) The focus of the photo i think is the road, its long and windy and you never know where it'll take you. f) this photo doesn't really have a background i think its all foreground, because the trees are covering everything. g)This photo leaves us with a sense of imagination allowing us to believe what what going on, theres no actual way to know, unless you are the one who took this photograph.

3. Balance- Harmonizes the photo with its factors, making everything equally weighted. a. This picture makes me feel intrigued, why did someone balance the stones like this? b. The picture is balanced by being completely focused on the stones while the colour scheme is pretty neutral. c. The lighting is natural, again you can't see any sun rays so it suggests a cloudy day. d. The stones are full of texture, some being smooth, some rough. e. The focus of the photo is the balancing stones. f. The background is a river, out of focus. g. This photo also leaves you with some wondering, why were the rocks stacked? Again you'll never know unless you took the photo.

4. Diagonals or diagonal lines draw your attention to something specific in the photograph. a) this image makes me feel calm, the water is so still, and peaceful. b)the picture is balanced by the simplicity of the image. c)the lighting is fairly natural little to no sun ray reflections on the water. d) the wooden pillars and the still water give a sense of rough and smooth textures. e)the focus is the diagonal aligned wooden pillars f)the back ground is the rougher water out where the pillars lead. g) this photo makes you wonder what are the pillars used for?

5.Colour Space-system for describing colour numerically a) this image has a sober mood to it, kind of gloomy but with some light on it. b)the picture is balanced by the use of tones and textures of the colour blue. c)lighting is completely natural by the suns rays. d)the clouds make it a soft texture while the sun is jagged and sharp. e)the focus is the sun behind the clouds. f)the back round it the clearer blue sky g)this photo makes you think where was this taken?

6. Simple and Single Point pictures Images with one central focus, usually uncluttered to keep the focus as the attention. a)this photo makes me sad, it reminds me of someone i know who can't walk, control their movements. b)the picture is balanced by having one focal point directly at the subject. c)the lighting is hard to tell because it is a black and white photograph, but as far as i can tell i would say its natural. d)the floor gives it a different texture then the man. e) the focus is the man who cant walk. f)the back ground is the gritty wall g) The photo is about a paralyzed homeless man, it shows how difficult it is for him in everyday life.

7.Framing using frames or other objects to outline the focus of the photograph. a)this photo makes me wonder and feel normal, it makes me miss summer, of going to the beach, and sunny weather. b)the picture is balanced by the frame of the sunglass lense and the different objects inside the frame. c)the lighting is naturally from the suns rays. d) the clouds and boardwalk give smooth and rough textures to the image e)the focus is the boardwalk. f)the background is the cloudy sky. g) The photo is the view from a lense, eye of the view f the board walk.
