Rhythm and Balance, Scale, Texture

Rhythm is a strong, regular, repeated pattern. Graphic designers use rhythm to develop static images. Balance anchors and activates elements in space. Rhythm and Balance work together to reach stability and also surprise the eye. Designers will use symmetry to help achieve balance in a design, but they also use asymmetrical designs to help the eye wander.

Scale can refer to dimensions of an object or it can refer to the portrayal of an object compared to the physical thing it represents. By changing the size of an object, one can imply motion or depth change.

Texture allows one to see the grain of an object or substance. By using texture you can create a mood for your design. This picture shows how texture really makes you understand what this object would feel like: sticky or slimy.

Editing Tools

I used a layer mask on these images. I was able to combine the two images of the dogs to make them look like they were both looking at the camera. I also added in the two tennis balls add something to the picture. 

In order to correct this image, I changed the channels of the image to the red channel where the image was the clearest. I used the Patch tool to grab the color of the shirt and changed it to red. Then I used the selection tool to grab the sky in order to change it to a blue tint. 

For this image, I took the original color stripes and placed them in a new document. I added to the canvas size while also copying the original image and changing the color to CMYK to get a color change. This allowed me to see the difference in the color palettes we will be using. 

For this edit, I straightened the image out and used the AutoColor tool to help make the picture more vibrant. After I replaced the color of the wall to make it red. In order to clean up some of the brick, I used the clone tool to make it seem more clean and new. I used the sponge tool to make the flowers more bright and new. 

            

I  used the blur tool to help change the clearness of the fish in the left portion of the picture. This allows the fish to look like they are moving and the camera wasn't quick enough to get a clear image. I also used the gradient tool to change the color of the fish, which makes it seem like there are different types of fish swimming together.
