Black and White Part 4
4th edition — by Patrick McNeil — Oct. 24, 2007
The Design Element
The black and white combo is one with both classic appeal and modern pop. This color pallet can be made to have very traditional classy aesthetics, or it can easily be combined with sharp saturated colors for a look that is very hip and stylish. The combo is perfect for presenting content that really needs to stand out. By having such a neutral framework, the contents of such a design can be made to come forward in the design giving them the most visual dominance. Ultimately this combo is far more useful then one might expect. It is in no way out dated as its B&W film counterpart.
