I’ve put together a list of attributes that helps me make better images. Perhaps it helps you as well.
Recognisability in a body of work
- Distinctive style
- Thematic continuity
- Recurring motifs
- Narrative threads
- Philosophical or conceptual underpinnings
The objective view
is a perspective based on visible phenomena and unbiased by personal prejudices, interpretations, or emotions. The objective view discloses universal truths.
Revealing the nature of being
provides a new perspective on reality, challenges our assumptions about the world, and stimulates an emotional response to connect us to our existence.
A particular kind of presence
is a unique or distinct way a piece of work is appreciable or impacts its surroundings.
Beauty
Emotional response or connection creates beauty.
Layered Complexity
Something can seem simple because we only observe its surface layer.
Fractal Nature
Nature is full of examples where simple-looking things hide inherent complexity.
User-friendly
means to intentionally design things to be easily comprehended to make them user-friendly, despite their underlying complexity.
Surface
It’s all surface describes something that lacks depth, complexity, or substance - there's nothing more to it.
Subtext
Subtext underlies an unstated or less obvious message or thematic element. The opposite to surface.
The counterpoint
creates a rich, complex whole by opposing distinct elements to highlight their individuality and interrelation.
Thanks, Marcello!
