Rift

This photograph looks upward through a forest clearing, as seen from a trail below. The sky stretches wide—blue and open—dotted with soft white and gray clouds like tufts of cotton. The trees flanking the view are rendered in monochrome, their leaves and trunks shadowed into quiet silhouettes. I like the contrast: light against dark, color against grayscale, sky against canopy.

The photographs I share here don’t appear as vivid as they do in my Pixel’s gallery. To make them load more easily, I reduce their size and slightly lower their quality. Take a look:

Contrast isn't just about making your design pop; it's about making it usable and accessible.

Nature uses contrast to create focus. We can apply the same principles—in color, size, and shape—to guide users and create a clear visual hierarchy. But in 2025, this must meet WCAG standards.

Our new guide explores how to use contrast effectively and accessibly, drawing inspiration from nature's perfect blueprint.
