    This website brought to light some very interesting concepts in a humorous way. Similar to the first site that I bookmarked with Diigo, this site talks about the different ways in which emphasis can be achieved: by placement of the main topic of the site (middle of the page for main information and then information that is the next in importance be in a variety of places - isolated? continued in the line of sight provided?), through contrasting colors, and by changing the proportion of images within the text to make them standout.

    Another good website to inspire ideas about emphasizing your design. It also has great examples. There are also great key points that will help in choosing what to emphasize. The website itself was nicely laid out. I enjoyed it very much.

    I really thought this was the best webste that i came across out of the three because the writer wrote this article in a very simple way and was easy to understand what is meant by emphasis. The writer did not use anything was to hard to understand, another thing that i found to be very helpful was how she gave the reader ideas on how to improve using emphasis in things that you do in regards to layout and design.
  • gabrielle begay on 18 Jan 12
     
    This article went over mostly everything that the reading had presented, however the author made her version of presenting Emphasis in a way that even a elementary student would understand. What helped get her points across as by using two examples for emphasis and then went on to explain what approach the design teams used in form of emphasis.

  • designer needs to know how to control the attention of the viewers of their artwork
  • DOMINANCE
  • more important or more noticeable than its surroundings
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Information is rarely of uniform interest in art
  • When there is dominance there must be subordination
  • There are three major methods for controlling emphasis in a visual image: contrast, placement and isolation.
  • One of the greatest possible contrasts in art is the difference between black and white
  • If color is used make it bright, preferably against a dull background.
  • When it comes to being noticed B I G G E R is always better.
  • An unusual shape can call attention to itself but it is not as strong a contrast as size or value/color.
  • PLACEMENT
  • Proximity
  • Proximity
  • Proximity
  • An overlapping, touching or close object is likely to be seen next (in that order) after a primary object.
  • Texture can also be an affective similarity device.
  • ISOLATIONIsolation is a kind of placement -- where something is put. An item that stands apart from its surroundings will be more noticeable. This is not likely to make an item be noticed first but can make one item stand out.
  • Proportion is a design principle that has to do with the relationship between size and scale.
  • It is possible to make an object appear different in scale without changing its size. The fortune cookie to the left is about life size. The one in the picture below appears to be quite large in scale. They are both the same size.
  • It is important for a designer to know how to control the attention of someone viewing their artwork
  • It is important for a designer to know how to control the attention of someone viewing their artwork.
  •   CONTRAST The objective of contrast is to produce maximum visibility
  • There is usually a focal point, a place where the action begins
  • Bright colors are more attractive (attract attention) than dull colors.
  • Where you place objects is important.

    This website is setup as notes for emphasis. It talks about color, size and shape. It also talks about how placement and isolation is important. It also adds how proportion has to do with size and scale, how it makes it appear diffretn based on other objects around them.
  • Merlyn Reyna on 18 Jan 12
     
    Emphasis is more visually interesting and making what you're trying to control more interesting than others.  It is also the attention of someone viewing an artwork, design or website.  Emphasize on weather you want to attract your audience the most, maximize the visibility of your focal point. This website gives explanation of how emphasis is used in art.

  • Tim Buswell on 24 Jan 12
     
    This site went into great detail. Like the book, the site described that the bigger something is, the more important it must be. It also makes an argument for the center being the most important of placing. But could that really be true if something bigger and more noticable was off center?

  • unity, diversity, simplicity, balance, scale and emphasis. This article focuses on the last of these elements – emphasis.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      emphasis is important in all types of design including floral design.
  • It can be powerful, such as in the case of a strong contrast, or gentle and subtle, such as where a group of low growing grasses emerge from a mass of prostrate ground covers.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      longer grass or flowers that show over a field of short grass are the primary point in landscape because many gardeners create emphasis on flowers because they are different colors and pretty:)
  • An emphasis plant can differ in some of its characteristics such as size and shape from the rest of the plants in the group
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      like in an advertisement some words or images are emphasized by their size, color, or shape as described in chapter two. These are different ways to emphasize plants or other important things.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • In fact the less attributes in which the emphasis plant is different, the stronger the contrast is likely to be.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      (like accents and contrasts) if all words (or plants) are emphasized then the important things could get lost and nothing will be emphasized, or stand out more.
  • While color contrast, whether created by flowers, fruit or foliage, is an obvious factor determining the emphasis potential of a particular plant, I’ll give a few examples of plants whose shape and form make them ideal candidates for this role
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      colorful images can create emphasis, like colorful flowers.
  • This term includes real grasses, that is plants belonging to the family Poaceae, (Graminae) and plants from other botanical families that have a grass like habit.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      each plant has their own role in different cultures and create their own contrasts.

      This is another website example of how emphasis on a focal point can be crucial. One statement here is that some designers will try to highlight everything in one visual. This will cause it to look too busy and may lose interest.
  • Leslie Lopez on 19 Jan 12
     
    This website provides a definition of emphasis as well as describes the importance of using emphasis in your design. It makes a good point by saying that if everything is equally emphasized then the design can look too busy. I like that the author of the webpage gives tips on how to include emphasis in designs.

    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      intesity is a good word to describe what is emphasized. in art usually your eye goes to one impressive point that is more important than others.

      these pictures all have main points that your eye goes to first because they are emphasized with color or images.
  • Value brings out the differences among a foreground that is in your face, a midground that may serve as the focal area or simply support, and a background that may be miles away
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      things in the foreground are emphasized by being bigger and the things in the backround are secondary objects.
  • Your eye goes to the brightest colors, but also to designs on an angle
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      bright colors are a good way to emphasize important things. The eye is attracted to bright colors the quickest.
  • You can use color, shape, line, texture, value, space, and or form in a way that distinguished one element or area from the whole to focus the viewer through the piece.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      many elements can help distinguish important words or images. having dark colors with light colors is a good way to create a contrast.

  • BalanceA perfectly symmetrical piece may have no focal point because each element is equally emphasized. Radial balance generally draws the eye first to the central point in the design. ProximityA part of the design that is isolated from other parts can become a focal point. AlignmentThe eye is naturally drawn to a point in or near the center of a page, giving elements in that area perceived importance. RepetitionRepeating an image or a word can establish its importance. ContrastSet words or phrases in a contrasting bold type or italics to give them emphasis. White spaceUse white space to isolate elements and give them emphasis.
