The structure, layout of design
This time I try the design layout , some rules that we have learnt in class. This image has no purpose of abstraction .
I took this picture for my own. I focus the balance of image. It's very interesting situation that my cat is lying under the stone chair. You can see the two edges of the chair help the viewers focusing the cat in the middle, reminding me some feeling. But I won't discuss the content of this image, just experience yourself.
I also change the color of the image. I use the tool Duotone learning form Maddy's blog (maybe this is the same situation like Maddy's picture).The result is the blue background. Does it affect your emotion?
Finally, I add some text ( because I feel there's something missing). I also put the text near the cat, vertically so that it's easier to read, and when you stop at question mark, it's the sad cat you see. But damn it, I know my feeling accurately, but I can't find better caption to describe it , to touch viewers' emotion. Can you help me find another text with better meaning ?

There are some interesting problems when laying out type in a column of letters like this:
a) kern tighter
b) decrease the leading to make the column feel solid.
c) often, type set this way looks better in caps.
d) you can't follow a question mark with an ellipse (three dots suggesting a continuation). A question mark is the same as a period - you cannot place punctuation after it. But, a question mark suggests that there is a response from the viewer to be had, so you don't need the ellipse to infer continuation anyway. The question mark itself does this for you.
e) When duotoning, try playing around with the levels on the black and white image first, to get a nice hard contrast - this way, the lines won't wash out so much once you duotone.
