Week 11 Contrast

This design uses very extreme color contrast to emphasize the name of the artist and also differentiate the title from the rest of the design. The brightly colored title contrasts very well with the all black background and really 'pops-out' out to the viewer. The dark background also influences our perception of the colored text by making it look brighter than if it were in front of a lighter background. There is also contrast in scaling, color, and shape between the different types of text that prioritize and differentiate them. The more important artists name is larger, more flamboyantly colored, and a different text style as opposed to the smaller, darker, more plain font of the 'DJ-Kicks', which is the name of the record label.

This design is interesting and eye-catching because of the high contrast in shape and color between the black objects on and around the subject and the background. The color contrasts between the black arm and light, cream-colored background really make the arm 'pop-out' and direct the eye to what is the center point of this design. The hand-written, black script on the girls chest and stomach also contrast very well from everything else because of their unique shape and color. The light gray spots to the left of the girl also contrast well with their background in color, shape and tone and offer a nice balance to the busy subject to the right.
