Week 11 Contrast

This illustration is a great example of contrast. It successfully uses contrast in color and line to highlight the coke bottle and the top half of the man. Using color to create this high contrast, the coke bottle and the top half of the man really stand out. This contrast communicates to the viewer. It takes away confusion and causes the viewer to focus on the coke bottle or the aspects that are colored in. The context also makes the colors of the bottle and top of the man stand out. A lighter background color could of been used to enhance this effect but it then would of enhanced the lines of the portion not colored in a little too much, taking away from the focus of the man and his coke bottle.

This is an excellent example of bad contrast. First of all the contrast is to minimal. The color contrast used makes it hard to read the text. Obviously someone wasn't very cautious when they chose the colors in this design. The color contrast only makes this design unattractive and unsuccessful rather than visually easier to understand or read.  Also the context in this design harms the success of the design making some colors look lighter showing less contrast.
