RW Series Signs - Water Recreation Signs (RW – 080 Boat Launching Ramp)
The abstracted boat, trailer, ramp, and water components of this image are arranged in a logical grouping that suggests a “real-life” scenario. In addition to sound composition, the components are stylistically balanced, of the same color and appear on a common background. Conceptually, the components are visually combined so as to easily lead the viewer to envision a “boat launch via a ramp” scenario. The composition of the image is effective and visually appealing due to the way in which the components are closely associated, realistically/logically grouped, and aligned in a way that successfully communicates the opportunity to either raise or lower the “boat” into a body of water.
