Chapter 2: Shape and Form

This chapter was pretty cool. There wasn't a lot I already knew, but it helped me connect things such as weight and light to shape. The static and dynamic part was also helpful, I hadn't applied the specific terms to imagery before, strange as that sounds.

Some images I liked were The Sky's the Limit by Michael Hayden on page 47. This might be because I'd seen the terminal myself but the shape of it give the illusion of movement even if there isn't any. I really enjoyed staring up that ceiling while walking through this, I remember wishing I'd had a camera with me. The lights, shapes and textures combine to make a very dynamic image.

Another image I liked was An Exclamation Mark by Kumi Yamashita on page 49. I thought it was a unique way to create shape using light; a novelty idea. I also like the fact that it uses two similiar shapes to create very different meanings.
