For a design to be successful it needs to meet the target users basic needs before satisfying higher level needs. The Netflix site is successful in providing many options grouped within genre to meet movie lovers basic needs, it then allows you to view the “recommended for you” or “top 10 for you” option which is proficient in empowering users to search movies better than they could because it has narrowed down the selection to what they will most probably be interested in watching.
I chose this one for Subject Value because the Afghan girl up front is telling us something about her even though we can't see her face, even more so than if we could. The other girl is curious and tentative. The composition of this photograph shows the hierarchy of attention I would like to convey. The most interesting element to me is the fingernail polish, making her like every other girl this age (though we know she isn't). I love the silhouette of the girls above. Would you crop this differently? This is the original as shot without any manipulations.
