The photograph of the dilapidated building that has the lettering, “ght house”, shows design elements of contrast, balance, and gestalt. The contrast is noticed as white lettering against the dark wood, and the hard lines and corners of the windows and wood in contrast to the soft curvy lines of the lettering. Confusion and tension are set up with the lettering. Our minds may fill in the missing pieces and the words “light house” may be the subject. Using the design element of gestalt one may recognize the word but be confused because this does not appear to be a lighthouse and the tiny light above the lettering is also indirect contrast to the type of light one would expect. The photo is recognized as a familiar building shape and the texture of the boards compliment the old building. This photo shows is that cropping in tighter on a shot is not only an option, but it might actually be better, improving the experience for the viewer by engaging them. Balance is found in this picture because the weight of each half of the picture appears to be equal. It is pleasing to look at because of this balance. I think the balance helps the viewer with this photo because we are familiar with balanced images and it helps us complete the rest of the photo in a familiar way.
