In a previous lesson we learned about visual hierarchy and the key ways it can be achieved.

In this video we are going to take a closer look at how contrast in layers can create a clear sense of hierarchy in design.

I’m going to take you through a quick presentation, where we can look at some examples of how visual hierarchy can be achieved in poster design, and the lessons we can learn to incorporate in our own design.

Let's Get Into It!
