To achieve this image i used a total of 5 images and the use of text. For this particular effect i used layering techniques as well as opacity so the other photographs could show through the image, the blurring tool to make the images look blended, i cropped and resized the images to make them fit on the page to proportion. I received my inspiration from magazine covers and advertisements. The particular photographs i used were to demonstrate the friendly and helpful environment of Emmaus Catholic College.

Complete an SQ3R on the reading. 2) Find photographic images on the internet that demonstrate the following: (Next to each image describe how the photographer has used that particular technique to create interest in the image.) - complimentary opposite colour - warm colours - cool colours - a textured surface - dominance - coherence - balance - positive / negative space - rhythm - golden ratio - rule of thirds
 * COMPOSITION ACTIVITY:**

What is composition? Composition is the placement of an image in a photograph, it is the way the image and other elements in the image have been arramged in order for the photograph to be more interesting.

Complimentary opposite colors: the artist has used this technique of colors to make the image more interesting to the viewer. The green grass on the cliff compliments the red cliff as the cliff stands out attracting the viewers attention.

Warm colors:use of warm colors such as orange, yellow, and red is to portray the warmth of the sunset, to show the viewer what the artist wants them to feel.

Cool colors: cool colors such as blue, white and purple compliments the image as the colors used represents cold conditions. it is to show and remind the viewer of the cool conditions.



Texture: is used to show the viewer as well as, give them an idea of how the object in the image would feel.

Dominance: the artist has made the focus on the image to the left side, making the seal the dominant feature.



Coherence: artist used coherence to make the objects look like they belong together by their similar shapes size and colour

Balance: the photographer balanced out this image as the mountain is of the same level throughout the image.

Positive space: where the flower takes up the whole image is space being used, therefore it is positive space.

Negative spaces: the free space around the flower not being used is an example of negative space, as the area is not used, no objects are there to fill it.

Rhythm: the photographer used rhythm with the use of the lines in the sand dunes, they repeat and are of similarity.

The Golden Ratio:

Rule of Thirds:
