What is Contrast?

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them.  However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different.  It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted.  A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent.  However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

Aesthetics and Contemporary Product Design
If we think about it, design is all around us – in nature everywhere. It could be a leaf, a shell, or a flower. And each of these proportions are instinctively pleasurable for us, which is likely the reason why much of design and architecture is based on the very same principles of ratio, proportion, and structure. The basis for this design structure is the Golden Ratio, or 1:1.618. Since the Renaissance, this is the proportion that has been used by artists and architects to proportion their works for mass appeal. Fascinating, however, is just how many objects in nature follow this exact proportion: animal, plant, or object and even drawings of the human body from the Ancient Greeks to Leonardo da Vinci
