Elements and Principles of Graphic Design
*Elements of Graphic Design
-Lines: Lines give the outline of the graphic that you are designing. Borders between designs. Lines are used to separate content and create forms. Can be used as the defining feature on a page guiding the eye and divide space. Lines show the dimension of the object you re trying to create. Lines show the motion of the object in the picture. Lines can convey seriousness or friendliness. Lines are usually in pairs or groups. Lines are meant to be used purposely. Sharp edges are more formal while rounded lines are more casual.

I believe this picture is a good use of lines because it shows how lines make up shapes and form other things. This picture shows the division between the white space through lines. |
-Shape: Shape shows the idea which you are trying to create. Draws the eyes, can create universal symbols through the combination of shapes and lines. Can provide texture, depth, or emphasis. Can convey thoughts or emotions also can provide framework. There are geometric, natural and abstract shapes. Geometric shapes are mostly based on symmetry, nature shapes are found in nature can be man made, abstract shapes are simplified symbols taking after natural shapes. implied Boundaries and borders. Mechanical shapes are things made with geometry and compasses. Hexagons, triangles, squares and circles.

I believe that this picture is a good example of the use of shapes because this picture shows how a shape can catch your eye. |
-Mass: Size, emphasize, each part of a piece you create has its own mass and placement in a piece. Mass can create contrast. Mass helps specify size itself. Mass gives definition to the piece that you are creating. Creates comparison.Visual weight of a graphic.

This design is a good show of mass because it shows how mass separates each peice of the design and give the image a 3 dimensional look. |
*Principles of Graphic Design
-Proximity: The space between 2 objects or graphics/ how close the 2 objects are to each other.
-Alignment:
-Repetition:
-Contrast: Contrast is the difference between light and dark distinguishing different parts of the graphic being created.
-White Space:An area of the template you are using that i not covered either by a graphic or color.
