The principles of design are a set of visual concepts that designers use to make aesthetically pleasing and functional work. These principles are often interrelated, complementing and influencing each other. This is why you should read our other posts to understand more about other composition elements.
Today, we will focus on a very important element of composition: contrast.
Contrast deals with how elements in a design differ or are opposed to one another. By using contrast, you can make aspects of a design more distinct. It can also be a point of emphasis that communicates difference in a narrative way. In that way, it can importantly figure into visual hierarchy. High contrast often makes things pop. Color is one important consideration here, as proper color contrast enables a clearer and more legible visual experience.
