Principles of Design Photo

This image shows the elements of design through the principle of emphasis. In this picture, the emphasized entity is the fish bowl. The bowl is clearly emphasized because of the element of space. In this photo the bowl, positive space, is centered and differs in color/shade in relation to the negative space, the background. Also, the colors and values of this image brings attention to its main emphasis, the bowl. By using a vibrant color of orange, then centering the fish bowl and using dark colors by using the worn money and coins, it creates a central focus. Also, inside the bowl, the photographer creates a literal and figurative difference between the cash and coins. This is shown by using a lighter color/shade for the cash, it relates to it being literally lighter and a darker color/shade for the coins because they are literally heavier which carries a dark tone.
