Successful Contrast
I think that this demonstrates a successful use of contrast. The whole thing can be read if the reader wanted to do so- the contrast of the black letters on the white background makes it extremely legible, and so does the size of the font- never getting too small to read. However, if one wanted to briefly look at it without reading the whole thing, one could read just the larger print, contrasting with the smaller print, and still understand the overall message. I like how the artist included about five different sizes of type, contrasting the more important words and slogans with the lesser important words or slogans. However, if I were to remake this same design, I would contrast tone and composition. The black on white makes it legible however not interesting, so by adding color to certain words, would give this poster more of a personality. By slanting, italicizing, etc. different words, the composition would be more interesting than just the linear composition it has now.
