When we look at a piece of drawing or painting, there’s always something that intrigues us more than anything else in that piece. Why is that? This is a method used specifically by artists who wish to divert our attention towards the most. The technical term for this technique is called ‘emphasis.’ Emphasis mainly serves as the focal point or main highlight of any artwork.
In graphic design, emphasis can be achieved by using colors, visual weight, size and page placement that are naturally attractive to the human eye. This is done by using various principles such as contrast, movement or repetition. When it comes to text, the main words to focus on can be highlighted using bold or italic functions of the Word Processing programs.
The video we’re about to show will give you a better example of what emphasis is and how you can use it for your graphic designing projects.
