What Do You See

This page seems to be an online collage of some sort. Different individuals’ works are posted with a visual that goes in hand with the subject of the piece. I found the window that that shows the title and author o the works to be very convenient. Although it seems to serve the purpose of merely magnifying the title and author of the selected piece, the window serves as an element of composition as well as.
Essentially, the entire page as well as each individual pieces are composition. I notice how the some of the pieces include only an illustration with the text being viewed in the text window while other pieces consisted of only text. However, the illustration or text corresponded with the title of the piece. I also noticed the alignment, position and size of the title and author window in comparison to the other windows. They make it bigger than the other windows in order for viewers to be able to read the text without straining. However, the position isn’t very a good position because it’s not the center of attention. Then again, that’s probably the look that the designer was looking for.
I noticed that the windows with images and color caught my attention more than those with just text. Shelly Jackson’s My Body was one of the first pieces that caught my eyes. The contrast of the light blue background and black and white image made the window stand out. Opening the piece introduced a whole other element of composition. The picture of the woman holding a pen and paper with the name of her body parts framed around her made me come to many conclusions. I saw the woman as Shelly herself standing in front of me writing and pointing and telling her audience what each part is called. The squares that highlights a body part serves as Shelly’s fingers pointing and the text that accompanies the boxes symbolizes Shelly’s voice.
Whether text and images are together or alone, they can be considered as composition. It’s up to the viewers to interpret it based on how the text or images are presented and it’s up to the creator to present the images or texts in a way that they want their viewers to see their composition.
