Composition: Alignment

Activity 6: Alignment

For this activity, we focused on alignment. I chose the liquor bottle because I thought it stood out more than just a picture of a cat would, per say. It definitely catches the eye's attention. Secondly, I focused on center alignment. I thought the text right below the bottle made the image a lot stronger. It allows the eye to flow naturally from the picture of the liquor bottle straight to the "message" which was my main focus of this design. Finally, I made the logo font smaller than the picture so it wouldn't take away from the main point. I aligned the logo underneath the picture to pull the piece together.This piece is not scattered and disorganized, off balance, or overly lavish. These reasons make this a good example of  alignment; it follows a specific pattern, of centrality in this case, but still projects an interesting point of view. I enjoyed working on this activity because I never really understood the importance of alignment in a picture until now. It was exciting to produce an image that people enjoyed.
