| Traditionally, accent is defined as the center of attention, or the
focal point in the design. The focal point is the area of most importance or greatest
impact within a design. An area of dominance to which the eye is drawn. This
is usually the point from which the design originates. The focal point can be
created with color, size of flower, or grouping of flowers. A focal point is a
single point of dominate interest within a design. A focal area is an area within a
design where more than one material, or multiples of a single material add emphasis or
visual weight to the floral design A more
contemporary definition of accent is a single or recurring detail that adds interest to
the overall floral design. If you want to emphasize something in one area, you
would do it with accent. Rather than the dominate feature, it is an enhancement of the
dominate feature. |
