Contrast

 

In design and printing, contrast refers to the degree of difference between various elements within a composition.

This might include differences in colour, size, typeface, or spacing.

High-contrast designs tend to be more eye-catching and dynamic, while low-contrast designs may be subtler and more harmonious.

Achieving the right contrast is key to ensuring an appealing, legible and effective design.
