Kaleidoscopes

This one is of a street, and when you look at this kaleidoscopes it looks like 4 streets going off all opposite directions and you see an "X" in the middle.

This one is of a building, making it a kaleidoscopes makes it look like a futuristic space ship.
This one is the same image as above but zoomed in closer then made into another kaleidoscopes. So it looks really complex.

This one is really interesting like 2 worlds flipped. The trees in the middle don't even look real. The ground matches together and makes diamonds.


Contrast in images Including Diptychs and Tryptics

Contrast in Texture
I like all the detail in the wood with the smashed holes revealing the garbage behind it. Showing a change from smooth bottles of garbage to the rougher wood. The holes and the graffiti give it a different beat up look.
Contrast in texture
 When I first saw this wall  thought I knew it would be perfect, it had an abrupt contrast from smooth to rough. The sodden change was really unique and different. I really liked the style it gave the wall, and how it wold look as a picture.

Contrast in texture
This was from a window at Portland State and I thought it was interesting having the rough textured trees that looked old with the background being a smooth window that is new and modern.



Diptych
I like this one because it the same wall from different distances. Changing the distances changes the picture quite a bit. The color of the wall from the far away picture shows less texture but more color, and the one close up(left image) has less color more texture. Bringing the slightly different textures and colors together connected interestingly well. Also the leaf on the far right ads contrast in texture.
Diptych
At first it may look like a tryptic but the bar of rocks in the middle belongs to the image on the right. The image on the left connect well with the one on the right because of the rock/pebbles. The whole picture has similar colors and a nice fall mood 
Tryptic
This image at first looks like a cool rock poster thats how I think the images comes together. The image in the middle was taken off the side of a building. It popped out a lot on the back background, but I wanted something to surround it. So I put rough brick walls on both sides and I thought it looked pretty neat. I could deffinetly see this picture on an album cover.
Tryptic
The top and bottom pictures was originally a wall with  lot of red and wood colored circles. So I put them on the top and bottom and split it to put a close up on one of the holes. You see eli in the center of one of the holes that you wouldn't see unless you were zoomed in. So this tryptic aloud me to zoom in on it but still see some of the original picture.

Balance and Contrast Inspirations

Image that shows radial balance by: Maya Chavez
 I liked the swirling stairs creating really nice radical balance
Strong contrast in scale by: Taylor Jones
This one goes small to big, and young to old.
Strong contrast in color by: Rachel Newer
The leaf falling stand out well by using opposite colors.
Strong contrast of texture by: Jeff Lynch
 I thought it was really cool that they left the exposure open to create the smooth water with the rough rock holding it together.
Image that is symmetrically balanced by: Erich Schmid

Nice that you can split the image in half and both sides would almost be the exact same.
