Congratulations ladies!

Here is the Week # 3 challenge...

"A Day in the Life"

Design Concept: Direction & Movement

This principle of design refers to dynamic movement through a given composition. It is like providing a sequence for the eye to follow, giving the layout or the elements more appeal as its story unfolds to the viewer.

Here are some examples:













In each layout, you can almost see an imaginary line directing your eyes from point to point. In "Pool" you can see a circular pattern leading your eye to the photos and reinforced by the arrows. In "I Blinked" there is an imaginary "z movement" leading your eye from left to right, top to bottom on the layout. And, in "Sunshine" the placement of each elements seem to move in a downward position. This started off with the bird, then the subject seemingly looking down at the title.

In this challenge, we want you to document and capture through your photos and journaling a day in your or somebody else's life, and apply the Principles of Direction and Movement in your LO.
