Ransoming Contrast and Balance

Prompt: Find three examples of contrast, one example must be TYPE contrast

I was traveling to visit my in-laws in Texas for my assignments this week which lent to an interesting discovery of the type of advertising that home design utilizes. I had to entreat my mother-in-law, who is a special homes architect, for some collaging materials and she, naturally, had allot of interior design related magazines. As I began flipping through I started tearing out every other page and very quickly realized that the entire genre of home design related advertising was, in fact, utilizing contrast. There was every example in the book and I had to limit myself as soon as I realized this to only the truly best examples of contrast. So, here is my gallery of contrast related advertising courtesy of the magazines: Modern Luxury Interiors Texas and Dallas/Fort Worth's Home and Garden Magazine:

She can enter into any room and tell you exactly which daltile products are present. So, the extra one is for you, Monica.
