= Shape =

For the first image I decided to display an example of symmetrical balance. This is shown, because if you were to fold the image in half it would be the same. I like this one, because it uses the shape of a triangle or more jagged edges, but there are many points of interest on this image. Also the colors evoke a sad mood by using tones of gray and black. The way the shapes are put together there is almost a sad face made, which adds interest to the image. The second image is an example of asymmetrical balance. We see this because, no matter which way you fold it the shapes/image does not line up. There are so many different an interesting shapes within this image that it would be very hard to make it symmetrical. I like this image because of the use of different colors, especially the primaries. It is also cool how the color changes where the shapes overlap. For my final example I chose a radial image that uses one shape repeatedly. This is shown, because as you look at the image you are drawn further in as the circles become smaller and smaller. The darker color also makes this image successful, because the radial part pops out against the white. I like this image because it is very interesting to look at even though it is so simple.
