Principle of Design - Proportion

This photo conveys proportion because it roughly follows Rule of Thirds.

Principle of Design - Repetition

Edits:  Increased lighting, contrast, and saturation. Decreased shadow. Made the lighting more pinkish. 

This photo conveys repetition. The locks on the lockers are spaced equally, and they repeat continuously along the same line of perspective.

Principle of Design - Pattern

Edits: Increased contrast, shadow, and vibrance. 

This photo emphasizes pattern. The grooves in the wood panels are patterns on the wall, because they repeat consistently and continuously. 

Principles of Design - Movement

Edits: Increased contrast, vibrance, exposure, and highlights.

This photo conveys movement because the cars are captured while in motion. The branches of the trees are a bit blurry, since they were swaying with the slight breeze. 

Principles of Design - Emphasis

Edits: Increased contrast, saturation/vibrancy, and shadow. Decreased exposure.

I believe that the contrast between the roof and the sky creates an emphasis on the bird. There's also a disparity in color. The building displays several shades of blue, and strongly contrasts against the white sky.

Principles of Design - Balance

Edits: Increased saturation/vibrancy, shadows, and contrast.

 Edits: Increased contrast and lighting.

These two photos convey balance because of the weight and position of the "subjects." The first photo has a symmetry to it: the lights line up along the middle. The second photo conveys balance because it is the intersection of the first floor's roof, the floor of the walkway, the stone wall, and the sky. The elements neatly overlap, so there is not too much weight on one single element. Thus, the second photo captures the principle of balance.
