Silhouetted Tree

This photo is amazing to me; the sunlight in the background creates backlighting making the tree to silhouette. It is a simple photo but it is a spectacular one nonetheless.

Sunset Lake

I like this photo because of the colors of the sunset and the reflection of the sky and the mountains. The clouds are so beautiful as the sun sets. This is an amazing photo of a landscape and I wish I were there outlooking on this spectacular view.

Sleepy Kitten

Love this picture. The sepia creates a feeling of simplicity. How sweet this kitten looks sleeping on the comforter. Must be hard to be a cat. :P

Spider web

Although I don't like spiders, I do like looking at their webs because they are so perfect. When it rains and the rain drops stick to the strings so delicately. It is amazing to me that such a small animal can create such a strong and yet delicate web. The use of black and white color intensifies the photograph; the drops help accentuates the web perfectly.

movie posters

Yeah, I'm a Harry Potter fan... so let's talk about movie posters... The top poster uses silhouettes which is a good technique becuause it gives a suspicious, unknowing, mysterious theme; it is a mysterious, dark, creepy, feeling about the movie the poster is about. This poster be a tease poster and not the real thing.
Another good technique movie designers use is composition: the order of images and/or characters that are about the movie. In the second poster the main character is centered and in front of the not-as-important characters.
The last poster has a creepy, dark feeling about it; well, the guy on the poster is Voldemort, the most evil, heartless man in the movie. It's about color, composition, and audience.

more movie posters

Movie posters are designed with much thought involved. Designers think about compostion, audience, color, and much more. "The Lord of the Rings" is a good example because the swords in the poster point down towards the title of the movie; it helps lead the viewer's eyes to the title. Proportion creates depth to the poster so some people are smaller than others which creates a sense of depth. Color creates a sense of theme or feeling throughout the poster; it gives a sense of emotion. "The Lord of the Rings" has a warring, fighting, good vs evil theme to it therefore the colors are dark and gloomy. There is so much more to a movie poster, but these are just a few to mention.
