Elements of Graphic Design
Contrast-- a good design uses contrasts that compliment and are proportional within the frame.
Balance-- refers to the placement of elements within the design frame (does not mean put everything in the middle)
For example, The Man with the Golden Arm starts out with dramatic white lines against a black screen, perhaps to draw the viewer in to the world of needles and drum sticks, which is what the film is about.


Look at my DVDs and titles and opening sequences to discern what the movie is about.
