Principles of Design - Emphasis


Edits: Cropped the bottom; increased contrast to +20 and highlights to +50
Structure: C Wing Cafeteria Wall
Emphasis: the red "No Smoking" sign

Emphasis is what catches the viewer's attention in a photo, based on a difference in color, shape, or size. In my photo, I used the downwards diagonal lines to draw emphasis to the red sign.. Nearly everything else in the photo is brown, yellow, or white, so the red stands out a lot. The sign is also a lot smaller than either of the paintings.
