Assignment #3: Thoughts

I actually had a lot of fun with this assignment. When I read the assignment guidelines I never really thought it would be as enjoyable to do as it was.

My favorite composition that I made was the symmetrical balance with the Circles. I am not sure what I like about it, except that I like the way the little circles appear to cut into the bigger one leaving nice crisp lines. I also really enjoy the low contrast squares design.
