Texture, Symmetry and Gestalt


sorry about the quality, i took 5 pictures and this was the best one. The texture on the right side is the egal on the back of a quarter collaged together. the teeth are are cut from a tick cardboard so they pop of the page a little bit. Everything else you can pretty much see.

Image Essay #6


There are many different gestalt principals displayed in this picture. There is the repetition of a pixilated patter throughout the two figures faces, and is also continues into the background a little bit. The close proximity of the pixilated pattern really seems to hold your eye. Were I first look at this picture my eye is immediately attracted to the high and low contrast of the black in white at the top right hand corner of this image. The negative reversal of the mirror and frame, the scarf, and jacket in the back ground is a cool effect that really livens up this picture. They way they used the negative reversal on the jacket gives it a sawed looking texture to it. Overall this is a well composed image implicating many of gestalts principals throughout the whole composition, and doing a very good job of it. The picture is not boring or stagnant. It moves your eye around the picture quiet fluidly.
