Study Notes
Purpose of Visual Information
- Captures attention and engages the audience
- Creates meaning through the use of visuals
- Facilitates retention of information for better understanding
Key Elements of Visual Design
-
Line
- Defines shapes or outlines within a composition
- Can vary in thickness and create texture
- Types: Actual, implied, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, contour
-
Shape
- Represents geometric or organic areas distinct from surrounding space
- Differentiated by value, color, or texture contrasts
-
Value
- Refers to the lightness or darkness within a design
- Importance of contrast between black, white, and intermediate tones
-
Texture
- Indicates how a surface feels or is perceived to feel
- Creates illusions of smoothness or roughness through visual peaks and valleys
-
Color
- Defined by hue (color name), intensity (purity), and value (lightness or darkness)
- Used strategically for emphasis or to evoke emotions
-
Form
- Represents figures with volume and thickness, appearing three-dimensional
- Can be implied using light and shading techniques
