Gabrielle Lynn Swauger, named because her parents liked the name. She goes by Gabi. She is taking the course to learn to take better pictures. If there was anything in the world she would like to photograph it would be the "Hollywood" sign and the Eiffel Tower. She is interested in how a person can change i front of a camera. If she could change one thing about herself it would be her personality. In ten years she sees herself out of college and being a working wife. She spends most of her time on her computer and watching television. She is always on Twitter and Instagram. You might often find her on her couch at home. A habit she would like to break would be shaking her legs and tapping her feet. The one thing she really doesn't like are feet. She feels that her greatest flaw are her feet. If she could be a super hero her super power would be invisibility because no one would know where she was . If she could eat at one restaurant for the rest of her life it would be Nando's.

My Sketchbook Cover

This photo is good from a compositional standpoint because it uses elements of art to draw the eyes in.

This picture has value to me because it is of my little brother and sister.

This photo inspired my theme, my theme of nature and love. The background is all trees which really ties in too my theme.

Other images I selected related to my theme because they were all of people showing love with nature as the background.

The compositional strategies I used are a monochromatic color scheme with green. I introduced texture with tissue paper and repetition  with the words I wrote over and over onthe cover.
