Crittque #2 Truck in Winter Design Comments

1: Name the Objects in the picture...
A: The truck, the foreground, the wires a tree and the background.

2: Name 3 design elements...
Color: This is starkly red and white with some black.
Size: The truck's size dominates the image Shape: The shape of the truck centered in the picture, almost like the white snow is a picture frame.

3: Name 3 design principles...
Emphasis is the most important one as the truck is the most important object. There is a lot of Balance at work here as well. The truck is balanced on the horizon and the truck is blanaced in the picture as well for the most part. Proportion with the truck background and foreground is well represented.

4: What type of color scheme is used?
I see this as a 2 colors contrasting RED & WHITE. With the winter background and the red truck it brings on thoughts of Christmas without directly showing Christmas. The colors imply it.

5: What could be improved in this image?
I would digitally remove the telephone wires and show a little bit more of the sky above.

6: What wins on this page? What draws you in?
The child in the truck looking out the back window. Partly because the figure is NOT centered and thusly stands out all the more.

7: Do you like this image?
I really do like this image. it works on many levels and is strong from a design and photographic standpoint. Good balance, strong imagery and nice theme.
