Contrast, Balance, and Harmony:
I think that this design inspires me so much because I have taken a lot of classes that have taught me about contrast, balance, and harmony and what creates these characteristics in a design or a piece of art work. When I saw this design I automatically thought that this would be a good example for this assignment. The balance in this design is easily noticed for me because I have learned that dark colors (such as the bottom part of this design) balances out the top part of the design with has a lot of detail in it compared to the bottom. This technique works because it equally draws the eye to the top and bottom of the design. The highlights and shadows in this design also creates a lot of contrast with the colors used on the top portion of the design as well as creating interesting shapes that keep the eye flowing throughout the design.  The design in a whole, according to me, has a lot of harmony and intrigues me.
