Week 2: CRAP

This week's top secret assignment: Explain how four different images follow the "CRAP" principles.

Contrast
Repetition
Alignment
Proximity


These lovely images of flowers from this website for instance, use contrast to enhance the image. Particularly, they use complementary colours which are opposites on the colour wheel to really add to the polarity.



This next image, found here, uses the technique of repetition to add to the design. All those lights gives it a nice effect, don't you think?



This image from this website, is an example of alignment used in an image. The diagonal lines really connect the picture and make it very visually appealing. This image also has some nice contrast.


The image above, found here, is a demonstration of the design principle, proximity, though it encompasses many others as well. Related items are grouped together to give the viewer something to look at.

This blogpost was just FULL of CRAP, wasn't it?
But in design that's a good thing apparently.

Until next time, Agent Sarah out.
