The element of design that my photo is capturing is mainly colour because of the way I see it fading from absolute white to blue, and you can even see it if you come across from looking at the picture from the top to slowly moving to the bottom. Another element of design that I have used is texture even though it's in a picture you can still see the texture. I also think that this picture would look symmetrical if it was taken from a different angle and that would make this picture even better.

I think that my picture is awesome because of the way I used these compositional techniques. The technique I used were rule of thirds. Not only did I actually use the rule of thirds I broke it down and actually made it rule of fifths. I think that the way I used this techniques were interesting because the way we photographers use is the rule of thirds, but instead what I did that was visually even more interesting is use rule of fifths.

Another technique that I could use to enhance this picture to make it even more visually interesting is depth of field, I think that depth of field is a very interesting technique because it it gives us a real effect that we in our every day lives can see if you are concentrating on something. If you are concentrating on something then can can only focus on that one thing and what depth of field does is it creates an effect that we can can experience.

                                                           Chess Piece


                                    Scanned Chess piece

                                 Chess piece Photographed 
                                 Outside and then enhanced
                                          in Photoshop


                                 Chess piece Photographed
                                  on Copy Stand and then 
                                  enhanced in Photoshop

I think that the best way to get the most quality out of this sketch is actually take a photograph of this sketch, why because as you can see the photograph of this chess piece is actually very detailed and not only that the brightness is just enough so you don't actually have to edit it. But then again to much brightness can also draw your eye away from the picture because it's physically disturbing to the eye. But another thing that I can see in this picture is that the colours in this picture are not the colours that were used in the original drawing, that is also another con because what I believe is that people should see the author as a pure artist not an artist that Photoshop's all his art and acts like a phony, that's what I think people need to be seeing these days.

For the Scanned version of this chess piece think that this is the right way to go, not the best way to go the right way to go because it shows that you have actually expressed your art the right way, but the con for that is your drawing isn't as interesting as it could be, and that doesn't benefit you of your viewer. So what I would say say in this case is that it is your choice in whether you want to use the best method or the right method.

I think that the elements of design I have used are very effective in the ways I have used them. If you take a look at the way I used my value you can tell if you look closely that it actually has a lot of value. But it also depends on what version of the chess piece picture you looked at because as you can see the value is actually really standing out in the chess piece in what I photographed outside, but that's a different story. Another element of design that I have used is movement because of the way that I that I made the lines look like the are actually sinking in on the right side of of chess piece, even though I know that I didn't really do a good job with it I think that the chess piece itself wouldn't be the same because then these lines wouldn't be effective at all and the chess piece would've looked pretty different is what I would think.

I think that this picture has an excellent example of breaking pattern and depth. I think that this is a great example because if you take a good look at it what's being produced on the outside is really bringing attention to to the middle or what's mainly to be focused on. It also catches my eye very quickly because of how illusional it is to me.

I also think that this picture has a good example of breaking pattern because when you are looking at this picture it draws your attention to were this artist wanted you to look at, and right when your eye reaches to the centre of the picture, boom the the pattern ends and your done looking at it. Even though the author put alot of detail into this its meant to be looked at for maximum ten seconds or even less is what I think.      http://imgur.com/pqRe8
