Elements of Design

A set of twenty images that display the elements of design.

A university project

My photographs for Elements of Design revolve around the theme of metal. I chose to frame the photographs in a way that allows people to see the smaller, often overlooked details of the metal objects in everyday life, and show how the basic elements of design exist in all man-made things. From left to right, top to bottom:

point, line, plane, rhythm, balance, scale, texture, colour, figure ground, framing, hierarchy, layers, transparency, modularity, grid, pattern, time, motion, rules, randomness
