Personal Reflection

Personal Reflection:

1. Why is this photo good (compositional standpoint)?

The subject of the photo (the marshmallow) is displayed in the center of the image, while the coals are in the foreground and the log is in the background.

2. Why do you value this photograph (sentimental standpoint)?

I took it when I was camping with my dad and little sister this summer and it reminds me of summer and good times with my family.

3. How do the other images selected relate to your theme?

They're pictures of my favorite foods, because I like food and it goes with the theme of the marshmallow.

4. Describe the compositional strategies used (Elements and Principles of Design).

I used the elements of line and color, by using the color scheme red-orange-yellow and by using lines to connect the different images on the cover. I used the principle of movement/rhythm by using lines to make the viewer's eyes move from one image to the next.
