In this photo of a Salvador Dali exhibit in Los Angeles, the main way the element tone works is between the gray walls and the frames. The spot lights above as well add into the clear tonal difference between the works and the wall they are hung on. The difference and diffusion in light is a perfect example of creating a border with light. The tone is working with the shape element in this photo. The square frames cause a border as well as the somewhat circular light from above does too. The spotlights enclose the art while the square is straightforward. In this room of the exhibit, the small frames lead your way to one of Dali’s larger pieces which is a large pop-out feature of the room. The blue catches your eye and though I am not sure but it does look like the piece is being illuminated from the back which makes it even brighter and colorful. The color is drawing your eye into this picture of the exhibit. The thick lines of the frame help create a boundary between the image which is very unreal and the exhibit wall, something in reality. While the line is mainly used in the design process, it helps differentiate and more clearly defines the visual appropriateness of the set up. The image itself is lines that create a negative and positive space.
