What is contrast?

Contrast is the arrangement of opposing elements to create interest, emotions and drama in a picture or design piece

Contrast in

Texture Color Size

Example 1: Color

The use of opposing colors in this photo draws attention to the center. The red flower is a very

harsh color on the blue background.

Example 2: Size & Shape

Size contrast is used in this picture to produce an illusion. The clear circles around both the black dots are different sizes, this creates misbelief in the real size of the dots. Both dots are the same size, though with large and small circles around the black

dots it creates a size illusion.

Example 3: Texture

This photo uses opposing textures to draw the eye to the center. The frayed material front and center draws the viewers attention because it is a very harsh change in texture compared to the woven material. The frayed

material looks somewhat 3D.
