Revisiting the Main Ideas of the Project

Think about the main idea of your project. What is the message or idea you would like the viewer to consider?

How can you visually create this main idea so the viewer understands?
  • ephasize important areas or details
  • create a focal point
  • create a flow or movement for the viewer to follow
  • play with brightness and contrast or saturation
  • explore different color choices
Remember this is a landscape. Create a sense of space and depth by:
  • overlapping
  • small things far away, larger things up close
Develop a visual paradox, or contradiction with the images you choose. Play with opposites
  • extisting/ non-existing
  • traditional/ unorthodox
  • beauty/ ugliness
  • man-made/ natural
  • positive/ negative
  • urban/ rural
  • near/ far
