LINE: This cover of a Nylon magazine features a couple different Dondis Basic Elements, however I will be focusing on the element of line. The builings in the background of the image are the perfect example using lines in a design. It is said that a line can be described as a "dot in motion" and with these vertical lines the buildings in the background create, they do just that. The line has an enormous energy and it is an extremely important visual element. The buildings in the background are at a slight angle, however the lines that make up these buildings have a linear quality that helps create an image of creativity. The lines in this picture have a direction and a purpose, and that purpose is to create tall, slanted buildings.
DIMENSION: This image in a magazine shows the perfect example of dimension. Although dimension is usually dependent on illusion, it also represents a two dimensional visual format. This picture in particular shows depth and dimension by using a person close to the camera and then showing a person on a horse smaller, in the background. By doing this, it creates elongated visual depth. In reality, the small girl is much smaller than a grown man on a horse, however, by using dimension in this image the girl seems to be the biggest being in this picture, because she is closest to the camera. This image uses lines, in the tree and even in the girl, but that is just it's to plot its effects. The final intention is to produce the feeling of reality.
COLOR: This magazine cover is the perfect example of using color in design. Color itself is full of information that is easy to understand in all languages. This magazine, in particular, is actually a Japanese magazine. Color structure is easiest to understand if you refer to the color wheel. The primary colors are: yellow, red and blue. The secondary colors are: orange, green and violet. Multiple combinations of these colors are combined to create any color. In this magazine, almost all of the primary and secondary colors are used, giving the image a sense of chaos, yet makes the viewer feel comfortable. The perception of color is one of the strongest conveyance of emotion and uses its great force to express particular feelings.
