Contrast:

The design principle of contrast is a result of differences in images, fonts, size or colors. Contrast helps provide emphasis and causes objects stand out. This is an example of contrast because the white color of the iPod causes it to stand out against the black silhouette and the pink background. The white color of the text is in contrast to the pink background. The size difference between the iPod text and the advertising at the bottom is also a contrast and helps bring emphasis to the product name.

MenuProximity:

The design principle of proximity communicates relationship of items to the viewer. By placing objects near each other, the creator is indicating there is some connection or relationship between them.This is an example of proximity because it is the placement of yellow circles close to each other that gives the outline of a Dalmatian. The image of a Dalmatian is the result of the mind connecting the spots and circles into a unified whole, even though there is no consistent outline to the figure.Click the squares to see additional examples.Example 1Example 2Example 3Menu

Alignment
