Components of Graphic Design

Design that emphasizes function without beauty / aesthetics will not pull so uncommunicative. 'interesting' or 'beautiful' can be assessed by using eye (birth) or the heart (inner). you could be interested in (candidate) can post as first sight (eyes) or personality (heart). beautiful design can be attractive because it is seen or creative concept. the beauty of which is discussed in more ditekankakn on the ability of the eye as an appraiser in order to attract the eyes (eye catching) the necessary knowledge of the elements / components in graphic design, among others: 1. line 2. 3. shapes of color, texture and light 4. illustration / drawing 5. font / typeface 6. (space)all of it in komposisikan design principles include: 1. Balance 2. accord / harmony of proportion and scale 3. 4. 5. rhythm unityGRAPHIC DESIGN COMPONENTS1. LINESin fact 'line' that does not exist. if you think it is a line of hair, look with a microscope, the hair looks and consists of many cells with organic forms. tericpat outline of the differences of color, light or differences in the distance.but in graphic design, a line is defined as a set point in the Tile memenjang. line in computer graphics software is often called outline (coreldraw), countour or stroke (adobe photoshop). any kind of line has a different character and atmosphereeach line psychological impression / perception of its own. ie lines that form the 'S'. often felt something soft, smooth and supple. compare with lines that form a 'Z' impressed firm and rigid. This occurs because the feeling we equate with a curved shape like a sexy body shape or waves in the seain line orientation, consisting of:1. The horizontal straight linegiving the impression: ketenagan suggestions or things that do not move

 

2. The vertical straight line

giving the impression: stability, strength or grandeur

3. The straight line sloping diagonal

giving the impression: unstable, something that moves or dynamics

the combination of these lines will produce other lines as follows:

A combination of horizontal and vertical lines:

giving the impression: formal, sturdy, firm

2. SHAPE

forms also called shape, resulting from the lines are arranged in such a way. there form shaped 2-dimensional (two-dimensional) and 3-dimensional (trimarta). each form has its own meaning.

depending on the culture, geography etc. example; triangle could symbolize the concept of trinity (father, mother, child) but in Egypt the triangle symbolizes the symbol of femininity (womanhood)

4. COLOR

Each color has its own characteristics. the colors we can communicate our designs to the audience effectively. Color psychology can widely be learned in other chapters in this BLOG.

GRAPHIC DESIGN COMPONENTS5. TEXTTypography is the art of choosing and arranging the letters in space to create a special impression, so that the reader will be able to read as much as possibledevelopment of typography has developed from manually / by hand (hand drawn) to use a computer. with a computer, the use of typography becomes easier and faster with the letters varied choice. even so in the choice of font / font should be noted that the character of the products will be in the highlight and also the character of its market segment.The types of fonts even so much but remains in the following categories:1. Letters without hooks (sans serif)does not have a latch / hook, only the stems and stalks alone. for example arial, tahoma2. The case relates (serif)has a hook / hook on its end, for example: times roman, Garamond3. The letter writing (script)each letter intertwined like handwriting, for example: brushscript, mistral, shelley4. decorative letterseach letter is made in detail, complex and complicated, for example: initial Augsburger etc.5. monospaceshape can be the same as sans serif or serif font, but the distance and space each letter is the same, for example: courrier, Monotype Cursive, OCRGRAPHIC DESIGN COMPONENTS6. ROOMthe space we can feel far away - close, high - low, long - short, empty - solid, large - small etc.The size is relative. 'Great' according to you is not necessarily the sam adengan 'Great' according to others. these measures comes as no comparison.if the room is filled with goods. of course we need to be difficult to move because of circulation space. so did the graphic design, we need a space to place graphical components such as images, text, etc. but do not spend space designthus the empty space does not mean useless space or space that must be filled, instead of empty space is a component of graphic design. by utilizing the space we design looks more digestible. focus making it more communicative and interesting.
