Week 11: Contrast

I found this image by doing a google search using "contrast graphic design". There are only 3 colors used in this image and is a great example of contrast. The white arm and hand are a good contrast to the black background. It's the first thing my eye was drawn to in this image. The red lettering, which represents blood coming from the arm, also is in contrast with the black background.




The image of the map is an example of using contrast in a not so good way. It's hard to tell the difference between the orange and red orange colors and the yellow and light green. The colors are extremely close in contrast, and they almost look the same to me. It seems that they used warm colors. In order to make this map I would use colors that are more contrasting like red and blue; a warm and a cool color. The intensity of contrast is not used here.
