travis' post #6

this image is a little more detailed than those we saw in "picture this", its not composed of such simple shapes as circles, triangles and lines only. but the body and head are circles, which are described as soft or non threatening maybe, the only harsh part of the turtle is the tail, a long straight, point triangle. as for colors, the blue background is a calm color, as is the green of the turtle and the yellow rays. the fact that the turtle is large, and in the center of the picture makes it the focal point. the yellow lines are representing rays of sunlight in the water. these rays create the feeling of tropical water, warm water, not deep and dark and scary. we could have added more to the picture by maybe creating fish or plants in the background, using simple shapes to not take away from the focal point too much. the size of the turtle also helps draw attention to it, it doesn't take up the whole page but it is definitely large. had it been a very small turtle, it would have lost its importance and wouldn't have gotten its point across as well.
