I get the idea of a person in the background energizing with the sun and the refreshness of water but what POWR stands for? color is used poorly I see only the picture blueish tone, and the letters that tell me nothing,
maybe if the color of the picture woulf of been more towards the deep blue of the word. Good job just needed more time to work on the idea.

4. How effectively was the concept of “green-ness” explored? Do you think that this student used the elements of value, texture and color effectively to enhance the concept, how did the branding of the song interplay if at all?
This is a wonderful image, but I’m not really certain that this composition really comes across as “green.” In fact, I’m a bit uncertain of the overall message of the image, which makes it hard to say whether value, texture, or color did or did not enhance the concept. If there’s any tie-in to the song, it’s probably the line “Listen to the music of the moment, dance and sing.”

Project 2 Critique – Texture
2. What role does texture have in the composition? (Detail, pattern, space, and/or design). Be specific, if texture missing or weak include that also.
Texture is used great in this composition with the water drops. The texture makes the idea of the compostion, because it is the water.

There isn’t much green-ness. However, he used value really well by have the water appear closer and further away. Also, the texture is brought out through the dimensions of the water. There is much color in the concept but I really like the project. To be honest I ‘m not sure if there is any relation to the song. Overall, I think this was a pretty cool project.

Hello, Tim!
Your design and composition for this project is quite high in quality. It is simple yet successful. The only error I see is the word ‘power’ is misspelled. I think the image would make a nice billboard. It would be refreshing to see along the street. I think I would darken the inside area of the person just slightly so it stood out just a little more (change the value). Actually, it would send it back into the canvas slightly, which would bring the beautiful water forward. It would also show the rejoicing human enjoying the sun and water.
The water sustainability concept is somewhat strong. The first time I saw the pale out-of-focus water I thought it was a flowering dogwood tree branch instead of water, so it distracted me from the water theme. There’s also the chance some contrast adjustments would help define these elements so the eye doesn’t mistake them for something else. It’s all about recognizing shapes like in one of our previous chapters – our brains ‘see’ something complex with a simple shape. Maybe it looks less like flowers and more like water in a large graphic that hasn’t been compressed by WordPress or Photoshop as much. I wish I could see this image in its poster-sized format because I know I’m losing some of the dramatic impact and details in this smaller format.
Overall, this is a very pleasing beautiful piece and it would be cool to see a large version of it along the highway.

How is value used in the composition? (Creates 3-d, use of light and dark, mood, contrast). Be specific, if value missing or weak include that also.
The student did a great job creating 3-d objects. Water droplets were used in light and dark variations to create value. The student also used a light and dark background creating sun rays from the outline of the sun in the top right corner.
