Week 12: Contrast

Good Contrast:


We can see in this poster the effective use of contrast. First we can see the contrast in the colors of the interlaced legs, one black, the other one white, separating them and defining them as different elements. Also we can see contrast in the characteristic of the legs. The black one show us a modern, elegant-suit leg that give us the idea that belongs to a modern-life person; on the other hand the white leg is dressed with traditional chinese clothes and shoe. The use of contrast is very effective, even though they are the same object (both are legs), they both are pretty different from each other, they both represent a different idea, and both work well together to communicate the message of this poster.

Bad Contrast:



We can see the poor use of contrast in design of this website. The use of  the color green for the text makes the readability difficult. It doesn't help to differentiate it from the background; the background also is a big problem, it is a picture that it's not easily recognized, and with a texture that doesn't help to clarity of the text. This website is not easy to read or navigate, the use of color is pretty bad and doesn't help the readability, and there are not clues to help us understand the navigation in this website.
