Digital Calendar

This piece is part of the digital calendar assignment, and as such is a calendar with the background of a sunset in it. The calendar is see-through with the 2012 months on it, and paired with that sunset in the background, you could print this out and put this on a wall or something. The sunset came out of a series of pictures taken at Ocean beach at around 6-7Pm, something that is not comfortable to do.

I would not consider the calendar to possess any pattern unless you counted the calendar boxes as a pattern, but in general I would consider that stretching it a bit. The contrast is the light parts at the top of the piece and the dark ground at the bottom, basically. Nothing is being emphasized in particular, because everything is the same distance away from the picture's viewer. It has asymmetrical (seriously?!) symmetry because the right side is larger than the second side and makes it uneven, also the sky has different clouds.  There is unity, because the contrast, emphasis, and balance work on the landscape type background behind the calendar.

I am not exactly sure if there is any message in this calendar, this is because I did not make this with any purpose in mind besides completion. To be honest with you, if you think there is a message in this piece, then by all means have fun with it. However to me I can't exactly tell if there is a message because there literally was nothing in my thought process that told me to put a message into it.

I feel that this picture was successful, in making a good looking calendar with the background visible without taking out the calendar entirely. The elements of design work out to create unity, well I'm not exactly sure of that completely considering there isn't any dramatic changes that were necessary but still. Despite being a simple project, I think this one looks pretty alright, compared to some of my other ones.
