Colour Colour is used to create moods and stimulate emotions. Colours that harmonise will help create a unified page where as contrasting colours will separate the page and create drama.

Mass Mass refers to the amount of surface area an element takes up. The amount of mass used can reflect the mood or tone you want to convey. i.e Thin lines convey class and elegance whereas a large heavy block of colour can represent fun.
