Using Contrast in Graphic Design and Page Layout
Via ThoughtCo.
As much as some fashion designers try and make it happen, blue and orange just don’t go together. They’re polar opposites that make each other stand out. But what about using this contrasting factor to make beautiful, quality messages? By utilizing contrast to their advantage, firms can direct a reader where to look, how to feel, and stay engaged.
Polarize with size, value, color, and type.
Contrast adds interest to the page and provides a means of emphasizing what is important or directing the reader’s eye. On a page without contrast, the reader doesn’t know where to look first or what is significant. However, contrast can be overdone as well. Make sure to choose carefully.
