Study Notes
Introduction to Computer Graphics
- Definition includes digital images, animations, and interactive graphics for various sectors such as entertainment and education.
- Abbreviation for computer graphics is often CG, used in rendering and scientific visualization.
- Applications include architectural design, computer art, presentation graphics, and training.
Steps to Begin in Computer Graphics
- Understand the basics of computer graphics.
- Choose an area of interest to specialize in.
- Learn programming languages relevant to graphics.
- Utilize graphics software for design projects.
- Study and practice regularly to hone skills.
- Create a portfolio showcasing best work to attract employers.
- Seek job opportunities in the field of computer graphics.
Overview of Design Principles
- Graphics design combines text and images for effective communication across various formats.
- Graphic designers analyze and create visual solutions to convey messages in print and digital media.
Outputs Produced by Graphic Designers
- Work includes magazines, corporate reports, promotional materials, websites, logos, and multimedia projects.
- Outputs vary across formats: print content, social media design, applications, and online marketing materials.
Key Design Principles
- Balance: Arranging design elements to manage visual weight. Includes formal, informal, and radial balance types.
- Emphasis: Drawing attention to a focal point in the design by contrasting colors and sizes, making key information stand out.
-
Rhythm: Creating visual patterns that establish movement through repeating elements and adjusting their arrangement for mood enhancement.
- Regular Rhythm: Predictable intervals and similar elements.
- Progressive Rhythm: Variations in size or color through sequential changes.
- Flowing Rhythm: Organic intervals that evoke feelings of movement.
Unity in Design
- Achieving a cohesive appearance through balance, rhythm, type, imagery, and tone.
- Repetition: Using consistent elements to enhance relationship in design.
- Proximity: Grouping related elements close together for perceived connection.
- Alignment: Organizing elements along common axes.
- Contrast: Utilizing differences in color, typography, or other variations for visual interest.
Vector and Bitmap Graphics
- Digital images categorized as vector graphics (defined paths) or bitmap graphics (pixel-based).
- Raster/Bitmap Graphics: Formed by pixels and become less sharp or distorted when scaled.
Graphics Types and Applications
- Vector Graphics: Retain quality regardless of scaling due to mathematical equations defining shapes.
- Bitmap Graphics: Size alterations affect clarity due to their pixel-based nature, suitable for detailed images like photographs.
