"The human visual system is more sensitive to contrast than to absolute luminance; we can perceive the world similarly regardless of the huge changes in illumination over the day or from place to place."
The difference in visual elements, such as size, value, or color, that can be used to create emphasis and interest.
Value: The relative lightness or darkness of a color, tone, or hue.
Color: The property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way it reflects or emits light.
Texture: The feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or substance.
Shape: An area that is distinguished from its surroundings by an outline or a change in color or texture.
Space: The area around, between, and within objects.
Balance: The way in which visual elements are arranged to create a sense of equilibrium.
Proportion: The size relationship between different elements of a design.
Hierarchy: The organization of visual elements in order of importance or priority.
Emphasis: The use of contrast to draw attention to a specific element in a design.
Rhythm: The repetition of visual elements to create a pattern or movement in a design.
Unity: The sense of coherence and harmony between different elements in a design.
Contrast: The use of differing visual elements to create interest, variety, and emphasis in a design.
Color contrast: The use of different colors to create contrast in a design piece.
Value contrast: The use of light and dark shades in a design piece.
Texture contrast: The use of different textures or surfaces in a design piece.
Size contrast: The use of different sizes of elements in a design piece to create contrast.
Shape contrast: The use of different shapes in a design piece to create contrast.
Line contrast: The use of different line weight or style in a design piece.
Directional contrast: The use of elements that point in different directions in a design piece.
Style contrast: The use of different styles of design elements in a design piece.
Pattern contrast: The use of different patterns in a design piece.
Material contrast: The use of different materials or surfaces in a design piece.
Proportion contrast: The use of varying proportions in a design piece.
Weight contrast: The use of heavier and lighter elements in a design piece.
"The difference in luminance or colour that makes an object (or its representation in an image or display) visible on a background of different luminance or color."
"The human visual system is more sensitive to contrast than to absolute luminance."
"The maximum contrast of an image is the contrast ratio or dynamic range."
"Images with a contrast ratio close to their medium's maximum possible contrast ratio experience a conservation of contrast, wherein any increase in contrast in some parts of the image must necessarily result in a decrease in contrast elsewhere."
"Brightening an image will increase contrast in dark areas but decrease contrast in bright areas."
"Darkening the image will have the opposite effect."
"Bleach bypass destroys contrast in both the darkest and brightest parts of an image while enhancing luminance contrast in areas of intermediate brightness."
