Assignment One: lines, pattern, shape, form, texture

One of the first places when I thought about lines is the ceiling of Millenia Walk. Jing commented that the area below (areas without the dynamic lines) is taking up too much proportion of the photo, which upon hearing I found to be quite true since this is a “lines” photo. I like the colours and the lines, and it could fit the bill if I crop the bottom part away, but I decided to look for less ‘obvious’ lines.


Realised that I have this cute little stool that is bright pink in colour and has heart-shaped holes which form…patterns. Had to take this when my family is asleep, switch off all lights and find a blank wall. This photo was not commented on during tutorial, but sadly I realised the shadow with heart-shaped holes cast on the wall is only seen on my laptop but when I uploaded it to Picasa, it’s just a piece of black.



Not too satisfied about this one. Yes they are shapes, but I feel that it’s too ‘obvious’.


This is the hardest to achieve among the five, and I see my classmates struggling with form too. It was only after tutorial that I could grasp the meaning of form and it was satisfying.


Don’t know why but my family keeps this little sponge thing that is so dried up that it looks like bread. I like its colour and texture, kinda cute.

This is the first assignment of this module, and I am doing it with great joy and excitement, expecting what is more to come. As I said, it was satisfying after tutorial because of the doubts cleared as to what kind of photos meet the five criteria. Felt excited to retake the photos after gaining a new perspective about them. (: And with the thing about being photos being “obvious”, I guess it would score high on creativity if it is one that people would have
not have noticed it could represent something (shape, pattern etc) but you did.

(final photos)

I retook pattern with a stronger light source and darker surrounding. And the good thing is now Jing has opened up the choice for some photo editing so I tweaked the contrast and brightness too. I also cropped out the sponge surface to emphasise more on its texture.
