Compose Your Frame- Holland 3rd Floor Windows

After seeing everyone’s creative and beautiful pictures of the Holland, I wasn’t sure if there would be anything left to shoot. When I’m in the Holland, I tend to gravitate towards the windows because it illustrates an overview of the athletic fields and some of the beautiful scenery St. George has to offer. The photo I decided to compose was of the furniture closest to the windows on the third floor.

My focal point was the wall on the other side of the room, therefore I use the rule of thirds to divide my picture with the windows, the chairs and wall, and the columns that somewhat seclude this space from the rest of the library. 

I think the lights on the upper left of the photo represents the diagonal rule because it demonstrates a z-axis that leads your eyes throughout the picture. Graphic vectors are illustrated through the layout of the furniture that continues towards the back wall as well as the columns. Also, although some of the lights are horizontal, the continuity of them down the pathway helps lead the eye on the z-axis of the photo. Some motion vectors are present with the vertical direction of the chair and stool's shadow along with the bright orange design of the carpet. Also, if you follow the window shades, they give you an uneven path that leads you towards the back wall as well.

GoodMoods- Axioms of Web Design

Good Moods is a website that my mother visits frequently to get ideas when we remodel pieces of our house. I think this is a great example of web design because of the consistent layouts, simple page structures, and the color balance as you surf which make the experience easy and pleasant. 


The home page is simple, proportional and lays out everything in order for you to navigate where you want to go. The title and headlines are visible with boldness and readable with proper spacing. The gutters along the sides start with colors that match or compliment the items shown which is easy on the eyes as you surf the pages. Every headlines links to another page, information or an item displayed so it is easier to maneuver around the site.


Good Moods illustrates strong grind design with its quiet page structure with vertical and horizontal boxes that also maintains balance of colors. I feel that each color was purposeful and precisely placed in the site because their displays are some complimentary to one another at all times.



What I like about Good Moods is that it is colorful and creative. My mother has an old-fashion style, but Good Moods allows her to expand her horizons when it comes to interior design and a more modern look. This is compatible on-the-go as well when you look at this webpage on your phone, so you can always share ideas with others anytime, anywhere!
