Text Collage (Homework).

1. What story or message are you trying to tell through your visual elements/Why did you choose your specific design elements?

The message I want to give to people who see the image is how important it is to think about health by showing a test that says that you exercise three times a week.

To use colors that attract attention is the goal of my image, I want the message to reach as many people as possible. The health issue seems to me a good one, so I took this image of a thin woman with a sewing tape tied around her waist.

2. What is the visual focal point of your composition? How do the elements of your composition draw you into the painting?

The colorless body of the woman, but showing a healthy figure to those who look at it. I wanted to take away the natural from the image using paint and muddling absurd colors all over the woman's body to make people look and wonder: what is going on here?

3. What competing focal points are there?

There is no order in this composition. Everything is very simple in the sense. But my intention is to take advantage of the image of a female body adding unnatural features to captivate the eyes of many people to read the message I want them to know. The woman body is the focal point. The secondary focal point is the words in the text and other the colors.

4. What is in the background and foreground?

I put only color in the background of the image. The image is separated in half by the body of a woman and I put a different color for each end. Use one side of the color pink and the other the color green and thus captivate the attention of the eye. I want that people read the message

5. How will the eye travel through this image?

In my composition the eye travels first through the woman's body and then through the background and then read the text. There are to many colors for focus the text. The eye should be directed vertically. The idea is to keep the body healthy and vertical is what is most close to a body in health.

6. What are the possible contexts for your composition?

It could be used for health bulletins in a magazine, as an image to complete a health text, informational scroll. Cover of a book that talks about health.
