Leslie's+Project+6

My Visual Introduction   I really had a lot of fun doing this project. I think it is because I like to scrapbook, and as anyone can see, my interpretation of this assignment is that it is kind of like a digital scrapbooking page. It was pretty easy to incorporate the principles of CARP into this assignment, and I think I have done this a lot in my photography and design projects over the years, without really having a name to go with it. The three black and white pictures of me and the blue shaded picture are all part of a self-portraiture project I embarked on during my year in England. __ C __ ontrast The contrast in my introduction comes with the varied colors in the pictures and the words on the white background. I thought of changing both background color and text, but decided I would rather have it be a clean document, and that it would clutter it too much. __ A __ lignment Since I have pictures and text on both sides of center in my introduction, the eye is drawn toward that, rather than to the middle of the page. I was also thinking of the “rule of thirds” we use in photography when composing this document. __ R __ epetition I think of repetition as also being consistent. I don’t have pictures that repeat, but I made sure the title fonts and the text fonts are consistent for each of the Family, Work and Past sections. __ P __ roximity My categories of family, past and work are all grouped together. The book picture from my past reaches over to the work column, since they are so intertwined.
