For snapshot day, I tried to capture an image that truly intrigued me. Luckily enough, I was around the World Trade Center, and even though I had plenty of opportunities to take photos of the great (almost completed) Freedom Tower, I decided to take a photo of an interesting advertisement for an upcoming building complex. The photo itself isn’t exactly the most amazing one I have ever taken; however, I think that given the time and space where I was, I did alright.

The photo has depth to it. The diagonal from the angle taken makes the viewers realize that there is more to the surroundings. The cut out people also add depth. Since it looks like they are walking in a diagonal line, it gives viewers a feeling as if they are walking next to the sign as well. I also tried to use Instagram (fail…) to blur out the countries on top. I did this because I wanted the emphasis on the two main colors: green and red. The green person underneath “Madrid” leads to the red one underneath “Buenos Aires”. I tried to play with color here, and hopefully it worked. I think it did. The rule of thirds is a little ignored; however, I think that if I stretch it enough it can work. The red is a heavy color, and so is the green. But since red is usually the first color people notice, it draws them to the left side of the photo, and then they eventually see the huge green person to the right side of the photo. The two white outlines in the middle make up the middle third.
