Assignment #2

COMPOSITION

SIMPLICITY

I thought that this Coach ad demonstrated simplicity very well.  It has the most simple color scheme possible--black and white and uses simple lines to guide your eyes around the image.  The background is basic white with some shading and the logo is small and all black.  Even though it is so simple, it makes a big statement, and I love it!  This is a JPEG file which means that it is a "lossy" file, each time I save it the picture loses some of it's integrity.

CENTERING

This is a great example of centering.  Everything in this photo is crazy and unorganized, but it is still very balanced because it has a strong center for the eyes to focus on.  The line of the street also draws the eye towards the center using leading lines.  This image is also a JPEG.

RULE OF THIRDS

I thought this was a great example of the thirds rule.  The four points of interest are the left and right sides of the fullest part of the bow and also the edge of the red sole, both of which are defining features of these fabulous Louboutin shoes.  The photographer did a great job with the angle as well.  Most people are looking down at shoes as they or someone else is wearing them.  The eye level angle makes these look super dramatic & makes me wish I could afford them!  :)
