Sketchbook Cover

I took this picture with my cell phone. The photo I took has composition because of the angle and and the different colors that fit together. The value of the photograph to me is probably something inspirational. The quote I really like is If you wanna fly, you got to give up the things that weigh you down. The theme of my sketchbook cover sort of centers around the whole "flying" or "sky" topic. I showed my personality and beliefs through this cover because I truly believe that if you have the courage to try something new, your wings already exist you just have to find a way to use them and succeed. In the center of my cover is a picture of the sky right before dusk. The outline or frame of my cover if put back together is also the sky. The paintings really tie in with my theme because the birds of a feather and the cloud behind my name are related to the sky. The principles of designs I have chosen are repetition, contrast, and movement. Repetition is shown throughout the cover with the frame and the triangles. Contrast is the black i used for the birds and my name. Lastly, movement is shown with my feather and the triangles pointing in different directions.
