Elements and Principles of Design Slideshow

Before beginning this assignment I read the definitions of the different principles and elements of design. After I gained an understanding of what each of the words were, I began to formulate different possibilities of what to take photos of. During the process of taking photos, I frequently returned to the list of definitions, to be sure each photo was representing what my goal was. When it came to create the photos I attempted to utilize different and interesting angles. The majority of the photos I used in this slideshow were new photos, as only two (line and color) are pictures that I had taken before being assigned this project. When I was ready to shoot the images, I walked around my house and looked for different possibilities of what to create images of; then I took pictures from different viewpoints. After the photos were taken, they were uploaded on to my computer, and I was able to choose which image best represented the principle or element I was attempting to show. Many of the photos had to be cropped, so that only the essential material was being revealed. After all my pictures were selected, I uploaded them to photobucket, which was extremely easy. I then created the slideshow, which took me some time to figure out how to do, but the instructions provided along with the slideshow creation, made it easy for one to use. The only area I experienced difficulty in was deciding what to take pictures of, as a plethora of photos could have been used to show the element or principle.
In conclusion, I found this project helpful, as I have not utilized photobucket in a very long time, and never had made a slideshow before. I now feel confident in using photobucket as a tool.
