Photo Story layouts are important because pictures tend to be the first thing someone notices before reading an entire article or all of the text. Having a confusing photo story can cause readers to skim through or completely skip the piece all together. I think this is a great example because you can clearly understand the image on top is the main image not only because it is first but because it is also the largest image. The next two images are one above the other which makes is easy to understand the order or images. It seems as if the main image has a caption and the bottom two have one under the last picture as well. This example is the worst in my opinion.  I think its confused in the sense that the second image is largest. If it's the main image why isn't it first? It makes me think that the top image isn't really important. The text is also all the way down at the bottom right which makes it seem unimportant and off to the side. There is also very minimum ...

First I started off with a picture of my puppy and in the background is the little boy I nanny for. He decided to photobomb the picture, so it worked out well for the assignment. I cropped the boy out of the image (and made sure not to erase the cropped pixels). Then I applied different layers. I changed the brightness/contras, levels, curves, vibrance and lastly I applied a black/white layer and used the paintbrush tool and the black color and applied the color to my image while leaving the background b&w.

Below are the best 5 images that I took that fall under the categories of negative space, lines, contrast within the subject matter, framing, and angle.   This is an example of negative space because of the empty background and all of the white that is shown. Still using the same plant, I used a background with horizontal lines .  The horizontal line are from a woven basket in my bedroom.  This is an example of contrasting subject matter . Both the background and floor surface contrast the leaves and pot of the plant. The white fur background is from my living room rug which I propped up as a background for this picture. Using my ring I framed  the plant in the distance. I changed the angle of the camera and photographed the plant from above.
