Personal critique on above dynamic composition image:
Composition - Unfortunately my image doesn't totally follow the brief, the images should have been on a white background. However the overall composition I feel is eye catching, and comes alive with bright colours and an energetic night time feel. This is achieved through the feeling of movement, by images overlapping which also creates depth and interest in the image
Background - The background to the images is a contrast of light and dark, and gives a feeling of movement and an almost textural appearance. The background is what pushes the images to the foreground and the mid-ground. Without a background they are just floating in space.
Spacial depth - a good variety of shape creates good spacial depth between the images, with the watch in the foreground, the opera house in the mid-ground with the person image just behind, but in front of the background sky.
Although at times the person can loose position and appear to sit behind the sky on the right, and so becoming the background. Therefore the background layer is unstable, the figure-ground relationship is not entirely fixed.
Good spacial depth is achieved when it is clear to the viewer where the individual images sit within the overall image, and a sense of distance is achieved between each.
How long to create - The image took around 40 minutes to produce. I didn't sketch first (I should have done), I worked from my minds eye for positioning and then adjusted various settings for effects.
How long to print - 5 minutes (from clicking print to finished sheet)
Problems with printing - To get to the final print took over an hour (so longer than it did to actually produce artwork!). Problems due to set up on computer, through to issues with plotters, colours and quality.
