Hello, I’ve made some changes to my book. Initially, I tried fading in and out some of the yellow sections top to bottom but I didn’t feel it was working so now gone for a left-right fade.

Hi all, I’m really struggling to come up with ideas for my visual language assignment.  At the moment, I’m looking at abstract patterns in my running shoes.  I’ve played around with a few images that I took and they are below.  No idea where I could go with this (if anywhere!)
