Contrasts
|
|
Strong contrast attracts the eye and underlines the message
being communicated. It's like the lime that goes with the
tequila.
|
|
Unlike the previous examples,
the words, "full of sound and fury" clearly stand
out from the rest of the paragraph. The choice of typeface
emphasizes the energy of the message.
|
 |
There is a clear contrast between
the header and the smaller text. Also note the difference
in weight between the lines and the border.
|
 |
This illustration uses two
very different faces. The graphic was picked to go with the
bold type face.
