Plating Beet Salad
Lines: My use of lines in this plating is mainly represented by the chives. Their bright green color and the fact that they all point inwards towards the avocado and mint leaf draw your attention to the centerpiece of the plate, the avocado, mint leaf and the feta.
Shape:The symmetrical curvature of the beets and orange keep your attention on the non-symmetrical avocado and feta in the middle. In addition to the beets the chives also represent symmetrical shapes by all being the same length and pointing the same way, again drawing your attention to the avocado.
Space/Texture: I didn't really play too much with either one of these elements while designing this plate so I figured I'd combine them. The only major idea of spacing I used in this was too make sure that chives were spaced evenly and far enough apart that the pomegranate molasses would look symmetrical and not sloppy. The only thing regarding texture that I really paid attention to was the texture of the oranges. Everything else in this plate has very similar texture(smooth and relatively flat) but the oranges mixed it up a bit by being more bumpy. I didn't want the oranges to be the centerpiece of this plate so I made sure they were mostly covered up by beets so as not to draw attention to their different texture.
Color: In order to keep attention on the avocado I kept all the beets and oranges together to keep the plate mostly monotone in order to make the green of the avocado to pop in comparison. I had the same idea with the chives, their bright green color would draw attention to the object they were pointing at, the avocado and feta.
