Good Vs. Bad Design
When looking at these two images, you can completely see the differences. The main difference between the two candles, is the fact that one of them looks like they are holding a penis instead of a candle.
This candle is a wreck. The angels, or what I assume to be angels, are completely inappropriate and obscene. The designer must have been on drugs or something to put such a naive and innocent being in such an inappropriate gesture. The design flaws in these candles go on for days. The color in these also are crappy and unappealing. There is no unity and no flow to the colors. The image itself is portraying something doesn't want to be seen by anyone, in my opinion.
This candle has great design. There is a feeling of peace and tranquility when looking at this candle. The colors all flow into each other creating unity and balance. There are no obscene gestures or obscene "candle" holding which looks like a penis. The presentation of this candle also is very good. The colors are all in perfect harmony with each other as well because they are all part of a very soft hue which eases the eye when looking at this. The candle itself is for remembering but it makes it feel less hard because of the softness of the colors. This is a better design then the candle above it.

Contrast, Balance, Harmony
The image I have chosen to look at and talk about is the one shown below.
I think this picture shows great contrast and balance in the way the highlights of the whites are the exact opposite of the darks. The highlight in the middle is the lightest in the picture with the child's head being the darkest part of the picture. The picture is not balanced rather asymmetrically balanced. The balance comes from the swing set on the right and the kid swinging on the left. I think this picture is actually somewhat balanced because how much space each of the objects is taking up. You can make the argument for it being balanced either way. There is not much texture in this photo because of the shadows and how the light is assumed to be behind the child swinging. The only texture that can be argued is the texture of the chains. The chains have that feel of normal chains that everyone can imagine in their head.
To me, this picture sends out an emotion of pain and suffering. Even though you can see the joy and laughter in the little boys face and his sense of naiveness, I think of, honestly, the world ending when I look at this picture. I say this because of all the dramatic contrasts in this photo. The blacks in the foreground, to me, portray a sense of pain that is only amplified by the dramatic whiteness and the greys of the background.
