Design+Principles

This Photo of Lake of Zug (Switzerland) taken by Ingo Meckmann demonstrates and excellent use of the design principle, "direction"
Not only does this photograph immediately drag the viewers attention to the pier and and the direction it which it is pointing, it also seems "send" the viewer in a certain direction, towards the distant landscape and the brimming horizon. It conducts attention in a specific manner; a clear use of direction.

Direction is used to do exactly that; control the location of the viewers interest and set them on a certain pathway. It is effective because the photographer is easily able to capture ones imagination in a way that he wants.

This photo, about the blissfully cold and collected landscape of northern Europe, makes excellent use of distant hills and reddening sky by directed the veiwer towards the "open". It is free; serene. The natural lighting provided by the sun sets a superb backdrop, brings a distinct sense of early-morning tranquility and chilliness, as well as the thought of a warm, "free" future to the photograph.

Texture plays a roll "early on" in the photo; at the beggining of the dock. The snow, or more specifically, the observable texture of the snow, serves as a reminder of winter times come and gone. It is almost a nostalgic feeling, but at the same time there a sense of progression, as the veiwer progresses down the dock and out into the open.

 This photograph makes excellent utility of the design principle "depth". Many photographers use this technique in a way similar to direction, though instead of showing the veiwer the direction in which to travel, it demonstrates the volume, or depth, of a certain sight. It is also used to demonstrate length, and the space in between two points of interest. This photo clearly uses depth in the sense that it depicts the sheer volume of the herd as well as the distance the sheep span across.
