Emphasis and Focal Point

This blouse is a representation of emphasis by isolation. Because the shirt only has one sleeve, attention is drawn to the bare arm.

Because of the placement of the image on the shirt, emphasis by placement is being shown. Because the designer places the image dead center, your attention is automatically drawn to the face.

This photo represents emphasis by value. The spotlight is directly focused on the model, therefore the viewer does not notice surrounding objects.
