Looking Back

Structural Image

This image was taken on an old double-decker bus. When taking this image, I was slightly annoyed because I thought the boy was ruining the shot, but when I looked back, I realised it was better having him there as he created a point of focus. The structure and design of the bus makes it a structural image. Perspective, repetition, and symmetry are compositional elements portrayed in this image, while line, shape, and colour are elements of design in the image. Perspective is shown through the bus seemingly getting thinner and smaller as it gets further to the back of the image. Repetition is shown through the multiple seats on both sides of the bus, and multiple windows. Symmetry is shown through the left side of the image being almost identical to the right side, as they both have seats, windows, hand rails on the roof, and the boy. Line is shown on the boy's shirt, through the poles and hand rails all throughout the bus, and the borders around the windows. Shape is shown through the seats, windows, and the boy. And colour is shown throughout the light blue bus with dark blue seats, the boy, and the green outside the window.

• Levels were adjusted.
