CONTRAST
Contrast is an important principle of design, it is created when two oppostie elements are placed together to form an effect that attracts the eye to the artwork and creates intrest and intensity. Contrast can be created by different elements of art including; value, texture, color and form.
Color Contrast

This is a type of contrast, made by color, because the due to the whole photography being in black and white and the lips red it attracts the eye to the lips creating an emphasis on it.
Size Contrast

Another type of Contrast is with size, in which big shapes are place together with small shapes. This gives more attention and importance to the bigger object or text. Like in this image in which the pyramid is huge and beside it is a man which seems really small.
Shape Contrast

Shape contrast is created by making one element of the artwork in a different physical shape so it can be more notable and recognized.
My Sketch

My sketch reflects contrast in two ways. By adding color to the eiffel tower it created color contrast. The other type of contrast used is with size, because the high heel is bigger than the eiffel tower. Contrast is a principle of design that helps attract attention to the artwork and make the artwork more interesting.
