Point, Line, Shape & Colour.

Point, line, shape and colour are the building blocks of design. From these elements, designers create images, icons, textures, patterns, diagrams, animations and typographic systems.

We got into small groups and went out around Burton taking at least four images to represent the words "point, line, shape, colour" however we wanted to using either a camera, videocamera or phone. I decided to use a Canon 5D because I enjoy using one and using a mobile phone doesn't produce high quality images so I could never use the images for anything else again.

We only had an hour to complete the assignment so we didn't venture out far, we decided to go down to the washlands and shoot round there. This was a good decision because there are a variety of interesting things around down there, and I discovered things such as a bright red metal gate to photograph.

Line

I don't like how obvious that this image shows line, but I like the image itself. I like the worn wood with the moss growin through. It shows age and you know there's a story behind the photograph.

Shape

When taking my images, I was thinking about overlapping some of the words, such as this image was for shape, but also works for colour and line.

I always think about depth of field, the rule of thirds, composition, how I want the image to look in camera and what I want to do in post production.

These images gave me inspiration for this brief. I like how they have taken a simple item such as a cone and just placed them in every day places and situations that then make thought provoking and interesting images, making a scenario that looks quite odd and not what you'd normally see or notice.
