The 3 Building Blocks
Point A point marks a position in space
Line A line is the connection between two
points, or it is the path of a moving point
Plane A plane is a flat surface extending in height and width. A plane is also the path of a moving line. It is a line with breadth

Example picture analysis
Name Lastname (0808080)
Picture analysisMovie: Tron (1982)
PointEr zijn 3 aandachtspunten in deze poster, primair aandachtspunt is de gele ‘Lightcycle’ (kleurcontrast) en secundaire de grote ‘N’ rechtsboven en 2 ‘Recognizers’ linksboven.
LineEr zijn 2 duidelijke diagonale lijnen die wat links van het midden van de poster elkaar kruisen.
PlaneEr zijn 2 vlakken die duidelijk door het blauwe kader in de poster te onderscheiden zijn: achtergrond en illustratie. Verder zijn er in de illustratie zelf nog 2 vlakken, de paarse achtergrond in de verte en de ‘Game Grid’ voor, waar alle illustraties aan gekoppeld zijn.
CompositionIn de poster wordt gebruik gemaakt van primaire kleuren. De aandacht in deze poster ligt in het midden van het beeld en wordt door kleurcontrast benadrukt. De diagonale (isometrische) lijnen van de illustratie ondersteunen dit effect en zorgen ook voor een gevoel van diepte.
