Brief 1 - Frame (Photoshop): Thumbnail sketches for Idea 3

My third idea was to have black and white images of natural frames found in the city. This would show how we see frames in everything. Looking into photography advice a photo looks better when it has something framing it, this is because it makes your eyes follow it round and leads it to a central point of focus. Below are some examples:

This tree naturally frames the picture. Your eye follows up the bark and into the pink blossom and when it reaches the end it finishes nicely with the white decking. This kind of photo would work well in a photo frame because it is ascetically pleasing - its a 'nice' photo but it also works within a frame, it is an image that you would want to frame anyway.

















Archways and bridges work great when it comes to naturally framing something because the bridge itself tends to be darker so it focuses the attention onto the back or middle ground.



Here are some quick thumbnail sketches of possible ideas linking back to the research above. 
There are many doorways or arches that could be used to frame backgrounds. I find it hard to sketch a potential photographs so these are just rough ideas.

The tree could frame the background - could work well with the moors etc...

Close up of a fence - the idea of peaking through something

vines or plants growing up the wall and following the lines of the frame

Rustic door either opener closed could be simple and leave a good space for text
