FAVOURITE GRAPHIC DESIGN COMPOSITION 

Instructions: List down your 3 favourite graphic design composition work from Pinterest. Explain it on your E-portfolio blog, why do you like the designs?

Figure 2.1 Design #1 from Pinterest

I choose this because I liked the composition of the poster design, I liked how the image of the bicycle and the portrait image aligned together. I also like the image have the emphasis of the red colour stripe in it.

Figure 2.2 Design #2 from Pinterest

I choose this graphic design composition work because I like how it uses the negative space of the background and the cracked plate to form a tree.

Figure 2.3 Design #3 from Pinterest

I choose this design because I like how it uses the glasses to create a contrast between the modern world with the traditional world. I also like how it is black and white outline at the overall design of the design but in the glass frame, it is with coloured and showed the traditional elements.
