Study Notes

Visual Composition

  • Uses visual components such as typography, imagery, color, and form to solve problems and convey ideas.
  • Can be used for advertising, websites, infographics, and representing information.

Visual Representation

  • A graphical depiction of information, data, or knowledge often presented creatively to attract attention.
  • Represents the external form of a person or thing in art; can be 2D or 3D.
  • Visual images or designs on a surface used to inform, illustrate, or entertain.

Design Tools and Elements

  • Lines: Defined by points moving in space; create movement or direction in design.
  • Shapes: Enclosed spaces defined by lines, colors, values, or textures; create visual boundaries.
  • Motion: Applying movement to create visual illusions; horizontal directions convey calmness, stability, and tranquility; vertical directions suggest balance, formality, and alertness.
  • Texture: Surface appearance determined by dimensions, form, thickness, arrangement, and amount of basic parts.
  • Scale: Relationship between the areas occupied by different shapes.
  • Balance: The equal distribution of weight in a layout; visual weight is determined by darkness/lightness, thickness of lines, and size.
  • Color: Used for emphasis and can elicit emotions from viewers.

Design Principles

  • Design Principles: Guidelines for effective composition.
  • Proximity: Placing related design elements together; spacing unrelated elements apart.
  • Balance: Two types:
    • Symmetrical Balance: Mirroring elements on either side of a central axis.
    • Asymmetrical Balance: Achieving visual equilibrium by using different elements with varying weights.
  • White Space (Negative Space): The absence of elements; provides visual breathing room and emphasizes design elements.
  • Contrast: The divergence of opposing elements (colors, light/dark values, directions).
  • Repetition: Repeating elements to create a unified look.
  • Alignment: Arranging visual elements in a way that they line up.
    • Margin Alignment: Determines placement of elements relative to the page edge or canvas.
