Sketchbook Cover

How did you take the photograph?

With my phone, I like to take pictures with my phone because I always have it with me and it makes it easier for me to capture a moment.

Why is this photo good (compositional standpoint)?

My pictures are focused, I tried to brighten them and bring out the colors, I feel like that makes the picture more interesting and more alive. I have 2 panoramic pictures because I wanted to have a wide view of where I was.

Why do you value this photograph (sentimental standpoint)?

I value this photograph because they show my favorite places, the city where you can see all the different streets that you've you never seen before and the beautiful lights at night, my other favorite place which is being outside, nature, where you only hear the wind, you can feel so relaxed and amazed by all the beautiful things nature has.

What is your theme? How did you showcase you identity?

My theme is the value of capturing a moment and my different types of moods. I did like a collage of city and nature pictures.

How do the other images/text selected relate to your theme?

I have 2 different pictures in my cover, pictures of the city, which represents how sometimes I want to be around people and be somewhere busy but at other times I just want to be alone and be somewhere quiet and that represents nature.

Describe how you used the chosen principle of design.

I wanted to do a collage look but not just fill the page with photographs where you can't even see them completely. So what I did was I picked 4 of my favorite pictures and I cut them differently and arranged them so they have a different affect.
