Contrast

January 14, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

Contrast is my favorite design principle. It can be simply defined as difference. A few examples of art elements in contrast are light/dark, big/small, sharp/blurry and rough/smooth. Generally speaking the greater the degree of contrast, the more dramatic the impact.

I took this snapshot while walking to work. The sight of a kid’s shoe abandoned on top of the gray rock caught my eye. Though the list below didn’t manifest itself in my brain, at some levels these observations were recorded.

  • Kid’s sneaker on top of a rock
    • Soft/Hard
      • Shoe/Rock
      • Green Leaves/Rock
    • Playful Patterns/Undistinguished Surface
    • Light/Dark
      • Shoe/Rock
      • Sunlit/Shaded
    • Colorful/Drab
    • Small/Large

Use of contrast is a common theme within the descriptions for my portfolio.
