Line of sight

Using the rule of sight, we developed images to try lead your eye through a image by adding elements that guided your eye through the image. I choose to use a train station setting as I seem to spend a bit of time at them these days. I noticed that they have some of the key elements for creating a line of sight image and getting you to follow a image to the point i want to lead you too.

Things I looked at that could be used to compose the image

  • Roof
  • Signs 
  • bench
  • flower beds
  • colour 
  • fence
  • street lights 
  • person

    Trying different ideas and modes of transport to see which would be best suited for this task. 
    Railway tracks started to seem like a nice ideas and i have a few photos i have taken that would be nice t use as a reference. But I quickly realised this images had a lot of detail and i was finding it hard to translate this to paper. 

    Then on my journey home I realised that a train window creates a nice frame and captures a scene nicely. 

    Adding people to the image could of helped direct your eye to a point if the detail was added to the eyes of the commuters, but i felt that adding people was too much for the compassion and distracted you from the landscape outside. 

    The train station held the elements i was looking for to compose the image. By doing roughs i was able to play around with the layout of the image and construct it in a way that would use  line of sight to guild you through the image.
