EMPHASIS AND FOCAL POINT:

"EMPHASIS BY PLACEMENT"



Emphasis by Placement Adobe Illustrator. Drawn by Aziz Guiamelon, Sept. 15, 2012


Focal points aren't always at the center of a composition. Objects that are the focal point by being off centered are examples of emphasis by placement.




"FOCAL POINT"

"Assassin's Creed III Concept Art." Neoseeker. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Sept. 2012. <http://img.neoseeker.com/v_concept_art.php?caid=33689>.

Focal point is used by artists/designers to grab the attention of the viewer to the main object in the design. In this image, the viewers first focus is Desmond Miles, because of the placement, color, and background. 




"EMPHASIS BY ISOLATION"


The Atari Thief. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Sept. 2012. <http://theatarithief.blogspot.com/>.

Emphasis by isolation is contrast by placement. By placing an object off by itself, the viewer is drawn to that object simply because it's separated from the rest.




"EMPHASIS BY CONTRAST"


In this image the focal point is Deadpool, obviously because he's the only one in color. The colors break the pattern of gray thus creating an emphasis by contrast.
