Photo Composition Poster

Wednesday, December 15

Find photos that represent the following elements of composition. Find a different photo to represent each of the composition elements listed below. Place your photos on large paper and label the composition element. You may work with a partner.

Find a photo for each of the following composition elements.

• Rule of thirds
• Leading lines
• Repetition of patterns
• Action moving towards the camera
• Eye-contact
• Perspective: a bird's eye view or a worm's eye view
• Contrast in depth (subjects that are close up and far away)
• Framing (look for a photo that uses the background for a frame or uses part of the subject for a frame.

This should be completed by the end of the period.

Photos to Analyze

Yearbook Ave Practice

Practice using Yearbook Ave


You are going to design a practice page that include the following items. You only have to complete one page, not a full spread.

1. Use a background from the website
2. Create a heading using two different types of fonts. 
• Your headline should help explain the story of the photos on you page.
3. Choose a dominant photo and at least three smaller photos. 
• These photos should be related to the dominant photo on the page.
• At least one of these photos should overlap another one.
• Try to use a special effect on the dominant photo.
4. Crop each photo so that there is not background noise.
5. Put a border around each photo (this should be at least .5 point). You may want to experiment with the thickness and colors of the frame.
6. Put a page number in the bottom corner. 
7. Include captions for the photos. Captions should be written in a simple, easy-to-read font.
