Graphic Design Courses Horbury
A great design, like everything else, begins by knowing the fundamentals. Applying the following design concepts would help you in creating an attractive illustration and encourage you to express your main theme.
At Blue Sky Graphics, we enable bold, lateral thought and knowledge of systems, strategies and industry to produce a ground-breaking, colourful, resilient and aesthetic concept through comprehensive and continuous involvement in the design process. The creative potential of architecture is covered by graphic design and typography. The graphic design course helps you to discover new ways of looking and thought in order to encourage alternative approaches to discipline.
Alignment
Alignment provides a sharper, more orderly look. The arrangement of the elements helps them to establish a visual link with each other. It tightens the architecture and removes the haphazard, sloppy effect that happens when objects are positioned randomly.
The alignment of elements that are not in near proximity to each other tends to establish an unseen link between them. Alignment is one of the most fundamental and essential architecture concepts. It helps one to establish order and organisation among the elements.
Repetition
Repetition enhances the architecture by connecting the individual components together. It tends to bring in connection and continuity.
Consistent replication of a feature is commonly used in multi-page documents and websites. Elements may be as basic as colour, form, typeface or texture.
Contrast
Contrast helps you to emphasise or highlight main elements of your design. Contrast is formed when two elements are completely opposite. This does not even have to be shades, either. It can be accomplished with fonts (classic/contemporary), lines (thick/thin) and forms (big/small), just to name a few.
Contrast plays a vital role in the arrangement of information on a website. It will direct the reader to where they can first look, or to the most relevant part. However, it must be solid and transparent for it to function effectively. It needs to have an effect.
Proximity
Proximity is helping to build an entity. By grouping related elements together or in close proximity to each other, you establish a bond between them. It also offers a focal point which will provide the reader an indication of where to start and finish reading.
Proximity does not mean that the elements need to be put together it means that they need to be physically linked in some manner. This can be achieved by using point scale, font, paint, etc.
Balance
Balance brings stability and order to the architecture. That is the weight that is spread in the architecture by the positioning of your components. Elements do not even have to be of the same dimension. Balance can be accomplished by putting a large element on one side of the design and a few small elements on the other.
Balance can be accomplished in two ways, either symmetrical or asymmetrical.
The symmetrical balance is accomplished when the weight of the components on all sides of the pattern is equal to the middle line. The asymmetrical balance is accomplished by using comparison. A dark aspect will have to be matched by a few lighter ones.
