Line of Sight


Helsinki Archipelago Town Hall by Ness Lafoy - good use of line of sight - looking down - eyes guided by juxtaposition of vertical, diagonal and horizontal lines - works in conjunction with orange colour to create a focal point to be drawn towards



Analysing the use of view point, depth and line of sight in professional's work - quickly sketched out key visual elements and commented on the composition - breaking down an image is really interesting since it begins to expose the inner workings of a picture - for example the path the eye follows and the way areas are separated/ordered e.g. rule of the thrids

Final Resolution

I have tried to illustrate the brief 'transport' through means of travel and the journey an object is about to make - a ball about to fall down the stairs - suggested by diagonal lines pointing towards bottom right corner - pulling eyes in that direction - shows the pathway the ball will potentially travel down when it rolls forwards. Sense of suspense - just on the edge of the step - stairs drop off out of the frame - how far will it fall?
 Texture - grain - blue - calming - empty - minimalist vectors - science - physics - kinetic energy


  • Colours are complementary of each other - nice contrast using yellow as a highlight and teal as shading to add dimension 
  • I used the gradient and grain tool to create areas of shadow and light, highlighting the basic shapes and giving the image depth
