Design Process - Tech Box Photographs 1

Tech Box

This photograph is meant to show the frustration of the tech box among many students through my "model" looking sulkily/frustratedly at tech box. The black color of the tech box represents the "hell" of the photograph.

Below is my reflection for the photographs I took for the tech box photograph:

• angle is boring and uninteresting - straight at the tech box
• the human face is turned away - can't see the emotions properly
• bad framing - door frame (top left) and many other unwanted objects are in the photo
• bad composition - just a tech box and a human in front of it

• the human face is still turned away - can't see the emotions properly
• BETTER angle is more interesting
• BETTER framing - only the door frame (bottom left) is in the frame now
• BETTER composition - not just capturing the whole body and the whole tech box

• GOOD angle is more interesting
• GOOD framing - only the door frame (bottom left) is in the frame now (photograph below is cropped version)
• GOOD composition - not just capturing the whole body and the whole tech box
• BETTER now you can see the human face and its emotions more clearly

This is a cropped version of the photograph above, which has better framing

• GOOD angle is more interesting
• GOOD composition - not just capturing the whole body and the whole tech box
• GOOD now you can see the human face and its emotions more clearly
• GREAT framing - only the door frame (bottom left) is in the frame now

• GOOD different angle (high angle) - interesting but can't really see the human face
• GOOD composition - not just capturing the whole body and the whole tech box
• WORSE the human face is turned away - can't see the emotions properly
• WORSE framing - it is a bit awkward, and there is a big empty space next to the human

• GOOD angle and composition - able to capture the human face in connection with the tech box
• BETTER the human face is turned away - can't see the emotions properly
• BETTER framing - the frame is used quite well, although the white space next to the human still looks a bit empty

• GOOD different angle (tilted angle) - interesting because this gives a feeling of looking down at the tech box, however it looks a bit unnatural
• GOOD composition - not just capturing the whole body and the whole tech box
• BETTER now you can see the human face and its emotions more clearly
• BETTER framing - the frame of the photograph is filled pretty well, without seeming to overcrowd it (upper corners)

• GOOD different pose - different how now the human is looking down at the tech box
• WORSE composition - just a portrait photo of the tech box and the human
• WORSE the human face is looking down - can't really see what is happening on her face
• WORSE framing - some unwanted bits on the two sides of the photograph

• GOOD different angle (tilted angle) - interesting, less boring
• BAD composition - just a portrait photo of the tech box and the human
• BAD the human face is looking down - can't really see what is happening on her face
• BAD framing - lots of unwanted bits in the photograph (e.g. door frame, light switch) that I can't seem to completely get out even when cropped
