space

What is Space? 

Spacing is how the reader feels about the distance of space between them and the object.  you can put small objects high to make it seem like they are far. you can put big objects towards the bottom to make the appear closer. 

positive/negative

Positive space - is the area being used up by an object 

Negative space- is the area not being used by an object

i used up the postiive space on the right side by adding one big square almost covering all the bottom right side. I barely left any white space remaing. However on the left side i put three smaller versions of the square along the side and which left ample room for negative space. 

lines

line- a line can be used to outline or to imply a certain area. There are three types or lines, the type you draw (actual), dotted-lines(implied, black space (imaginary).The way i utilised my lines was to outline the 2015 and then do the lights as well as wire. 

shapes/texture

shapes- are objects that take up space such as a picture of a boy or a duck

texture- is how the objects appears to feel for example rough, smooth etc

The way i used shapes and texture in this photo was to incorporate allot of pond life creature and make it seem like one thing.Since my photo was too complex, i decided that texture was a bit too much for this picture.
