Texture and everything else :)

Read "Launching the Imagination" (Texture: pages 22-29; Value: pages 29-34; Illusion of Space: pages 92-100). Then start a new post in this forum with your name in the title and discuss the following questions:

1. How can textures be used to enhance depth?
2. Why is value relative?
3. Why might high contrast be especially important to commercial artists?
4. How can value help create an illusion of volume, space and depth?
5. How many different devices are there to show depth? Name them.
6. In order to understand linear perspective, what must be present?
7. What is the difference between one-point perspective and two-point perspective?
8. What kind of linear perspective is closest to what you see in photography? Why?
9. When would it be appropriate to use depth in composition? When should it be avoided? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

1.) It all depends on the quality of the texture and how defined the texture is. Through bold lines, and shadowing-- the effect of enhanced depth can be made.
2.) Value is extremely important! The value of lines and shadows really do play a part in whether or not it gives off a certain texture.
3.) Having high contrast in a project can make the object pop. Therefore, this is plays a vital role in the graphic designer's job. Without high contrast, the designer won't be able to depict something AND make it appealing to his/her audience.
4.) Having high value can create an illusion of volume, space and depth. How can that be? Well, for starters high value means bold lines, deep shadows, fierce highlights... having these elements can create an illusion of volume, space, and depth... it only depends on how you use them and what roles you make them play.
5.)There are four: linear perspective, overlap, size variation, and definition.
6.) In order to understand linear perspective, you must have a picture plane, vanishing points, and a horizon line.
7.) One point perspective have only one vanishing point whereas two point perspective have two.
8.) I think it depends on what kind of photo you take and how many vanishing points you got. Realistically, the more I look a photographs, the more I see there are more than one vanishing point. So, with that being said I believe I believe the closest linear perspective in photography would be the two-point perspective.
9.) It should be used when wanting to make an image with perspective. It should be avoided when your goal in the image is to not have that fancy perspective stuff... for example: when you are making a 2D object.\
