Visual Emphasis is a graphic design principle that belongs to the broader category of visual hierarchy strategies, specifically distinguished by its deliberate use of stylistic contrasts—such as size, color, or typography—to direct attention toward particular elements within a composition, thereby establishing an ordered sequence of visual importance.
