The last two attempts I have made in that effort I made the same friggen mistake drawing attention away from the intended focus, the first one was a contrasting black pen on a white surface in the background of a predominately amber setting and the most reasent was a set of white lines leading into a large white space to the right of a black subject.
A few things that spring to my mind include:
– Since different colors have differing wavelengths, cool colors seem to recede, while warm colors project.
– The eye is drawn to the brightest values in an image. When mixing bright and dark values in the same image, it's likely the eye will not find a place to settle. The image is said to be "busy."
– Diagonal and curved lines convey the feeling of motion.
– Converging lines, or the same form repeating in reducing or increasing sizes can help convey depth.
Like I say, these are just a few things that immediately come to mind.
I hope this helps.
