With regard to shape in this design, the first thing I see is the use of the outline of the skate to contain the elements of the collage. This makes the design both functional and fun. The cutout portion of the polygon background tends to direct the viewers eyes toward the center of the piece. I like the shape of the element at the front of the skate. The silhouette of the skater is a good example of using negative space to convey shape.

Question 1 – Space
How is space used in the composition?
Good use of negative space but it would of helped if there was a lighter color on background to help make the outline of the skate stand out more and better to read, seems jus a litle static perhaps conveying movement by working with the composition a litle more maybe to the right sugesting motion.Fun use of color it compliments the topic.

Question 2 – Line
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Student critiqued: Raquel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How is line used in the composition? Contour, types of line, emotion or texture effectively used (describe where and how within the composition).
How were elements of line used to optimum effect in composition? If line was not effective give reasons.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lines are used in the composition to move the eye and to imply movement of the skate.
The lined box around the featured graphic frames it.
Contour line is used to define the rollerskate shape.
Actual, implied and imaginary lines of many colours fill the rollerskate shape. Some track through lines in the photos themselves while others follow the borders of the images.
The lines used in this piece effectively move the eye across the skate shape so the viewer sees the different elements.
