Picture #1

This picture that our group created has many effects working to show a certain emotion. First of the composition is the main effect of the image. The broken heart at the center of the image pulls the viewer to it. It makes sure that the viewer sees the center as the most important part of the image. The next biggest effect is simply the color red. This color is extremely powerful and pulls attention towards it. Secondly, red represents actual emotions such as love and anger. The broken heart in the center obviously symbolizes love that has gone astray. It shows a negative side of love and portrays different emotions such as sadness and animosity. The shape has a lot to do with this image as well. The most obvious part is the heart itself. First of all the image symbolizes love and the soft rounded edges represent coolness and calmness. But when the heart is broken, the jagged edges come out and sharpness is shown. These edges pull out emotions that are actually cutting, knifelike, and stinging. These are all real emotions that come along with a broken heart I would assume. Cutting, stinging, and knifelike pain. Hurtful and jagged. Heartbreak is rough and that is what this image is trying to represent. This image has many working criteria that really pull emotions from the viewer.
