Sketchbook Cover

How did you take the photograph?

I took the all 4 pictures with an old TracFone that looked like a blackberry. 

Why is this photo good from a compositional standpoint?

The reason I think the main photograph (the big one in the middle) is good from a compositional standpoint is because there is clear focus on the colors of the sunset. 

Why do you value this photograph?

I value this photograph because any picture with the sun setting or rising or just shining through something has always been beautiful to me. Being able to capture the beauty in the world is something I love about photography, and I think that's what I like about this photo. 

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

My theme is the sun and the different ways it shines throughout the day onto different things in the world. It shows my identity because I'm a ray of sunshine. My dad always calls me his ray, and that's what I decided to show on my cover.

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

The other three images convey my theme because they show the sun rising and setting on different aspects of life, particularly mine. The letters for my name show my personality, too, in the differences in their designs. 

Describe how you used the chosen principle of design.

I contrast between the warm color of yellow for the suns rays and the cool color of the blue sky.
