I really liked this website because it showed how emphasis is necessary for artist creating paintings! Emphasis not only applys to composition and graphic design but also in art!

This website is more about art and paintings, but is a very good example of emphasis and focal points. The page gives good examples on how to create a focal point from focal area, color dominance, value contrasts, visual movement, difference, and shape. Each section has different paintings from various artists but very good examples and ideas of how to lay out things and where the person observing will focus according to your layout.
