What is emphasis?
Emphasis draws attention to an object.
Emphasis creates a focal point and makes
object stand out.
How do you create emphasis?
Using contrast…of color, size, form,
shape, etc…
Dark vs. light, color vs. black and white,
warm vs. cool
Which object(s) are you going to emphasize
using color?
Emphasis with color:
Black and white vs. color
Contrast is
• Opposites or difference
• Using emphasis to create
focus on an area.
• Using opposites to make the
other stand out.

that you look at in front of you.
2. Drawn in pencil. (Except for one object as that is
