Study Notes
Computer Graphics Overview
- Involves digital images, animations, and interactive graphics used in entertainment, education, scientific visualization, and virtual reality.
- Essential in user interface (UI) design.
Applications of Computer Graphics
- Used in computer art, presentations, entertainment, education and training, and data visualization.
Steps to Begin in Computer Graphics
- Understand the basics, select an area of interest, learn programming, utilize graphics software.
- Engage in study and practice, build a portfolio, and apply for jobs.
Design Principles
- Graphic design merges text and visuals to communicate effective messages through logos, brochures, newsletters, signs, and other visual mediums.
Role of a Graphic Designer
- Tasked with planning, analyzing, and creating visual solutions for communication challenges in electronic and print formats.
- Produces materials such as magazines, newspapers, corporate reports, promotional displays, and websites.
Outputs by Graphic Designers
- Focused on creating both 2D and 3D designs for various devices including computers and smartphones.
- Examples include kiosk interfaces, website designs, animations, logos, and user interfaces.
Key Design Principles
- Balance: Arrangement of design elements based on weight, position, and type, including formal, informal, and radial balance.
- Emphasis: Directs attention to key elements through contrast, size changes, and isolation.
- Rhythm: Produces visual patterns through repeated elements, influencing mood via regular, progressive, and flowing rhythms.
- Unity: Creates coherence among elements using repetition, proximity, alignment, and contrast.
Balance Types
- Formal Balance: Symmetrical arrangement of elements.
- Informal Balance: Asymmetrical but visually satisfying design.
- Radial Balance: Elements arranged around a central point.
Emphasis Techniques
- Contrast in color, shape, and size to highlight focal points and diminish less critical information.
Rhythm Variations
- Regular Rhythm: Predictable intervals and similar elements.
- Progressive Rhythm: Stepped changes in size or color.
- Flowing Rhythm: Organic patterns that suggest natural movement.
Unity Achievements
- Integrating varying design aspects to evoke specific viewer emotions through balance, rhythm, type, imagery, and tone.
- Repetition: Reinforces connection among design elements.
- Proximity: Closer elements are perceived as related.
- Alignment: Uniform axis alignment enhances cohesion.
- Contrast: Differentiates elements for visual impact.
Graphics Classification
- Graphics split into vector graphics (based on mathematical equations and basic shapes) and bitmap graphics.
Common Vector Formats
- Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg), Computer Graphics Metafile (.cgm), OpenDocument Graphic (.odg), Encapsulated PostScript (.eps), Extensive Markup Language (.xml).
