Photographic Formative 3 Colour Shape

This image catches the essence of shape and colour as it has a wide variety of colours and shapes. There are many different colours in this picture that work together; they do not "outshine" each other out. The colour in the squares and the colour on the vase match together, creating a nice harmonious balance. Within the three large squares, being shapes, there are many other shapes including small rectangles, squares, and quarter circles. These shapes match with each other between the three large squares in the center of the photo. There is a sense of abstract from the vague shapes, but there is also a sense of order as the three large squares surrounding the numerous shapes are equal and proportioned. The vase is trapezoidial in shape, with all the colours meshed together on it. There are no distinct shapes along the vase. This takes away the rigidness of the photo and adds a sense of fluidity. The colours are well balanced and match with each other, and the shapes all complement each other, making this photo a great example of the effectiveness of colour and shape.
