Black and White Composition


























The first thing I worked on in this composition was my grouping of circles. I wanted the circles to overlap and I used the transparency tool to create a nice pattern that leads the viewer's eye in a nice diagonal line. Then the viewer is drawn to the black box with a white outline in the bottom center of the page. I used a white outline around these squares to really make them pop from the background. I used the rotating tool to create a nice curving line with the squares. I then tinted each square by 10% as they rose up the page. I then added a gradient to the background to really make my shapes pop. I kept my composition simple but I feel like it leads the viewer throughout the whole page in a successful way.
