Figure/Ground Relationships

PART II: Assignment #1

Original Source Image

(the original image was lost, however, this ad uses the same imagery just a different heading)

Color: schematic-cool hues

Texture: rough(mountains), sharp and smooth(glacier)

Line: horizon line where the floor and background meet

Scale: Hierarchy of scale where woman is closer to front, so she is more important

Composition: 

Contrast: high contrast between glacier and mountains & also between type and the layer underneath

Focal point: the woman 

Deconstruction and Reconstruction

Color: schematic- cool hues + white

Shape: triangular and retangular 

Texture: sharp points and overlapping layers

Line: diagonal

Scale: triangles vary in size 

Composition: moving towards a specific focal point

Contrast: high contrast between white space and triangular shapes

Focal point: off to the side, space between the letter "P" and the letter "E"

Assignment #1

Original Source Image

Shapes: geometric

Color: cool hues/light neutrals

Texture: smooth

Line: geometric, vertical, horizontal, grid(windows)

Value: high contrast between window reflections of the sky against the building

Focal Point: window and figure (man) as it is placed right in the center

Deconstruction and Reconstruction

The modified composition still places the figure of the man at the center of the image. I was trying to focus on changing its' surrounding environment by cutting rectangular shapes and pasting them vertically and horizontally.
