In design, what is emphasis also known as?

  1. Balance

  2. Symmetry

  3. Focus

  4. Contrast

The correct answer is: Focus

Emphasis in design is the principle of drawing attention to a specific element or area within a design. This can be achieved through techniques such as size, color, and placement. Balance (A) and symmetry (B) relate to the overall distribution of elements in a design and do not specifically refer to drawing attention to a specific element. Contrast (D) is also related to emphasis, but focuses more on creating difference between elements rather than drawing attention to a specific element. Therefore, focus (C) is the most accurate answer as it directly relates to the concept of emphasis in design.
