Goes hand-in-hand with color.
Your advertisement should have colors that catch the eye and the print should contrast with the background.
Look at road signs as a good example of contrast. They are quickly and easily read from a distance.

The shirt should not be cluttered and should have only elements that add to it’s effect.
