What is design?

• Design is a problem-solving activity.
• Design is a plan, map, or drawing.
• Design is to present ideas in visual form.

Design is an arrangement of elements in such a way that serves a function & holds a specific shape.

Design Thinking Process
1. Define Problem
2. Empathy (info about target audience) (age group, financial, economic & education)
3. Ideate (develop Idea)
4. Prototype (Model/design)
5. Feedback (comments on your design)
6. Improvement (improve the design according to feedback)

 

What is Graphic Design?
To convey/communicate a message, not only in words but with visual also.

Product
Anything you can touch or feel is a Product.
e.g.: Toothpaste.

Service
the thing you can’t touch but feel (in virtual form) is a Service.
eg: Courier service.

Tools for visually Communicate Message
(In common words)
1. Text
2. Pictures
3. Drawings/ Sketching

(In graphic design)
1. Photography

Elements Of Design
The building block of designing is called elements of design.

 

1. Dot:

A dot is basically the beginning of “something” in “nothing”. it forces the mind to think upon its position and gives something to build upon in both imagination and space. some abstract points in a group can provoke human imagination to link it with familiar shapes or forms. (Wikipedia)

In designing, dots may be large or small, thick or thin, and colored or non-colored.

Examples:

• a debate starts from a point
• ik nukty wich gal mukdii aa
• pointillism art & design movement in Europe
• everything starts from being a DOT.

 

Symmetry:
If dots meet in a sequence and create a visual thing, it is called symmetry

Asymmetry:
If dots meet randomly and do not create a visual thing, it is called asymmetry.

 

 

2. Line:

The line is an element of art defined by a point moving in space. (Wikipedia)
it is the distance between two points. it can also be the combination of dots.

The line has its own length and direction..!

functions of design:

• Direction (signboards)
• Division (newspaper)

 

Types of Line:

• Curve
• Irregular
• Dotted
• Wave
• Zigzag
• Parallel ( two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel )
• Perpendicular (a line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines intersect at a right angle {90 degree} )

 

2-Dimensional:

• A 2d drawing is a drawing that sits in only the x-axis and y-axis. more simply, a 2d drawing is flat and has a width and length but no depth or thickness. there is no shade and shadow and therefore little realism in a 2d drawing. (Wikipedia)
• In 2d you can’t see corners of shape or design.

 

3-Dimensional:

• The 3D drawing sits in x, y & z-axis.
• It is also known as developing a mathematical representation of any surface of an object. (Wikipedia)
• In 3d you can see almost all corners of shape or design.

 

Vertical Line:
A line parallel to the y-axis is called a vertical line. use it to show strength or power

Horizontal Line:
A line parallel to the x-axis is called a horizontal line. use it to show relaxation or comfort.

Diagonal Line:
A line that joining two vertices of a polygon or polyhedron, when those vertices are not on the same edge is called a diagonal line. (Wikipedia) These lines are drawn other than 0, 90, 180, or 360 degrees, i.e 60 degrees or 45 degrees) use it to show motion or movement.

 

3. Shape:

When some lines combine and surround an area then a shape is created. It may be 2d or 3d.

The dots combine to make a line and the lines combine to make a shape.

 

Types of Drawing Shapes:

• Outline
• Color filling
• Negative space filling

 

Apps of Shapes:

• Decoration
• Material & content addition
• Attract & boost the interest level

Shapes are used as symbols and all the brand’s logos are all shapes.

 

Types of Shapes:

 

1. Geometric Shapes:

• Geometric shapes can be defined as a figure or area closed by a boundary that is created by combining the specific amount of curves, points, and lines. (Wikipedia)
• Different geometric shapes are circle, triangle, rectangle, square & parallelogram, etc
  these shapes can be drawn by the use of a ruler or compass.

 

 

2. Organic Shapes:

Organic shapes are defined as shapes that are irregular or asymmetrical in appearance and tend to have a curvy flow to them. nearly all shapes found in nature are organic in appearance. (Wikipedia)

Examples are leaves, flowers, trees, animal or human etc.

 

 

3. Abstract Shapes:

Abstract shapes have a recognizable form, but are not real. they are stylized or simplified versions of a combination of both geometric and organic shapes.
all types of symbols are abstract shapes.

Visual meanings of shapes:

• use circle shows motion or movement in a drawing.
• use triangle to show directions.
• use a rectangle to show direction & length.
• use square to show weight or strength.

 

 

4. Size:

The variation between two or more objects/shapes is called size.
Playing with the size of your objects/shapes add interest & attraction and is used to organize things.

Example, a large building or a small puppy.

 

 

5. Space:

Space is an empty or open area between, around, above, below or within the objects.

• Positive Space:
  • Positive space is any part of a composition that serves as the main focus for attention. basically, it’s anything you add that is not part of the background.
• Negative Space:
  • Basically, the background of the object/shape, that you create. is called negative space.
  • Negative space is, quite simply, the space that surrounds an object in an image. just as important as that object itself, negative space helps to define the boundaries of

Positive Space and brings balance to a composition.
Negative space is also called breathing space.

Minimalism is less a visual style and more a principle. a minimalist design is a design that only uses the most essential elements, including basic shapes and limited color palettes, to create something that’s very simple yet memorable. (Wikipedia)

 

 

6. Color:

Color is the sensation of light.

Color Wheel:
Color Wheel is a basic color theory represented in a circle (wheel). consists of three group types of colors:

• 1. Primary Colors:
  These are the most important colors in the color wheel. the other colors are made up by the mixing of primary colors. these are:

• • Red
  • Blue
  • Yellow

 

• 2. Secondary Colors:
  These are made by mixing any two primary colors. for example:
  • Green ( yellow & blue)
  • Purple ( blue & red)
  • Orange ( red & yellow)

 

• 3. Tertiary Colors:
  These are made by mixing 1 primary and 1 secondary color. for example:
  • Yellow-Orange
  • Yellow-Green
  • Blue-Green
  • Blue-Purple
  • Red-Purple
  • Red-Orange.

 

• 4. Neutral colors:
  Black (shadow), White (tint) & Grey (tone) is called Neutral Colors & Earth Tones.
  
  • When we add white color in any color, we gain the lighter version of that color.     e.g: pink (Red + White)
  • When we add black color in any color, we gain the darken version of that color. e.g: maroon (Red + Black)
  • Wen we add Grey color in any color, we gain the tone of that color.

 

• 5. Warm Colors:
  Red, Yellow & Orange in Flame
  Red      = love, passion, danger & energy
  Yellow  = happiness & friendship

 

• 6. Cool Colors:
  Blue,  Green,  Purple in Water & trees
  blue = Relaxation & Calmness & cool

 

 

7. value:

Value is the lightness or darkness of any object, any area, any shape or any color.
We use a 9-step scale to measure the value of any object, area, shape, or color. The 9-step basically shows the tones of colors

• The first 3 steps/boxes are called Highlights.
• The last 3 steps/boxes are called Shadows.
• The middle 3 steps/boxes are called Midtones.

When we choose Highlights & Shadows at same time, we get Contrast.

Imp Point: Value has a great relation with color & contrast but itself it is not a color or contrast. it is just the name of Tones.

 

 

8. Texture:

The feel of any surface is called its Texture. We can define texture in different words like Rough, Smooth or Silky, etc.

• Texture can be Organic Or Non-Organic :
  • Organic Texture: The textures which are obtained through Nature (Trees, grass raat matii flower) are called Organic Textures
  • Non-Organic: The textures which are obtained surfaces other than Nature ( ieeent, cement) are called NonOrganic Textures

 

• Texture can be Actual Or Implied :
  • Actual Texture: If the touching feel of a surface is the same as its seeing feel then it is Actual Texture.
  • Implied Texture: If the touching feel is nit the same as the seeing feel it is Implied Texture.

 

• Texture can be Pattern Texture or Image Texture :
  • Pattern Texture: When different shapes are repeated in a special pattern then the texture made by patterns is called Pattern Texture.
    Pattern Textures are used in clothes, shoes & Fashion Brands
  • Image Texture: usually the textures gain from different types of images are the Image Textures.
    These textures can be Environmental, Biological, or man-made textures.

Principles Of Design

1. Balance
Equal distribution of visual weights. Visual weight means how heavy or light a thing in its visual.
Eye traveling: enter & out from a pic and which things should see first and which things see later.

 

Types Of Balance

1. Symmetrical:
In Symmetrical Balance, all the sides (horizontally-vertically) are in equal shapes ( patterns). if we cut these images horizontally or vertically, the pic will show the same visual on both sides.

2. Asymmetrical:
In Asymmetrical Balance, all the elements are not in equal patterns but they confirm the visual balance.

3. Radial:
In Radial Balance, the elements move around a central point in a round pattern.

 

 

2. Proximity:
It is a technique to organize the elements and this organization adds beauty in our graphics.
For Proximity, we collect the same liking visuals and place them as a collection. And for different visuals, we put them at a distance/space, so we gain a Unity.
By use of proximity, we can remove Clutter from our designs, which destroys our design.

 

 

3. Alignment:
Arranging elements of design with a stright Line.
The Stright Line may b visible or invisible.
E.g: Car Parking Lines.

Types Of Alignment (According to Text)

• 1. Centre Alignment
• 2. Left Alignment
• 3. Right Alignment
• 4. Justified Alignment

Why Alignment:

• To create Order & Organization
• To Group elements and create Visual Connection.

 

 

4. Repetition:
Using the same elements in design again & again is called Repetition. We can repeat similar shapes, colors, or lines in the design.

It helps

•  to create Consistency & Association in design.
•  readers to navigate.
•  in filling the canvas.
•  to create Balance

 

 

5. Contrast
Arranging opposite elements together.

• LightColor VS Dark
• LargeScale VS Small
• RoughTextr Vs Smooth

We can do contrast by:

•  Size
•  Shade
•  Color
•  Direction

 

Contrast can : 

• create an interesting relationship between visual elements.
• pull the elements Together or Push away the elements of design.
• helps the human eye to differentiate among different elements.

 

6. Emphasis
Area or object within the design that draws attention and becomes a focal point.
The focal point is the area where the Primary Concept / Theme / Story of design is placed. There should not be more than one focal point in one design.

 

7. Unity
Arrangement of design elements in such a way that combined together, they give a feeling of a whole.

“The whole is greater than its parts.”

Unity creates Order & Organization in GD

We can get unity by:

• Similarity
• Continuation
• Repetition

 

8. Movement:
Movement refers to the way the eye travels over a design. Movement is controlling the elements in a composition so that the eye is led to move from one to the next and the information is properly communicated to your audience.

 

9. Rhythm:
Repetition of design elements in a specific pattern/certain gaps or intervals is called Rhythm.

 

Types of Rhythms:

• 1. Random Rhythms:
  • Repetition of elements with no regularity and random intervals.
• 2. Regular Rhythms:
  • Repetition of elements with regular/similar intervals/gaps.
• 3. Flowing Rhythms:
  • Repetition of elements following bends & curves. e.g: waves,
• 4. Progressing Rhythms:
  • Repetition of elements with certain changes and progress every time.

 

 

10. Pattern:
It is a uniform repetition of any of the elements of design. Anything that can be a pattern by repetition.

 

---

 

Rule Of Third:

In RuleOfThird, we divide our Design area into Three equal rows & Columns by Imaginary lines. Now we place the most important Element (design, art, pic, etc) of our image into the Intersecting lines (of our imaginary lines). This makes a special balance in our design.

 

Typography:

To Present. Design, Arrange and Manage the words in visual form is called Typography
Typo = Impression
Graphy = Likhna Draw krna

 

 

Typhase & Font

Typhus is a Family of Typography and Font is the Family Member of that Typhus.

Eg: Helvetica Family
Mrs. Helvetica Regular
Mr. Helvetica Bold
Helvetica Light
Helvetica Oblique

So there Helvetica Family is Typhase and Helvetica Light 24px is the Font.

 

Safir & San Sarif Fonts

Serif is a small decorative flourish on the end of the strokes that make up letters & symbols.

Eg: Times New Roman
Trajan Pro
Cooper Black

San Serif (to be without) SanSerrif fonts Do not have any flourishes at the end of strokes.

Eg: Arial
Helvetica
Verdana

Helvetica is the favorite font of Graphic Designers because of its nice readability.

 

Choosing Font According to Topic

• Beauty Salon: Glamours, Sleek & Stylish Font
• Construction Company: Heavy, Thick & Bold Font
• Event Advertise: Decorative, Stylish, Full Of Colours
• Technology Ads: Simple & Modern

 

Illustration
In GD, Illustration means depicting something visually.
To explain anything (story, pic, process or data) visually in such a way that it can be published through a medium for people, is called illustration

illustration

• Art of Storytelling
• Comics 
• Magazine adz
• Animation & Video games

Adobe Photoshop:
Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. for Windows and macOS. It was originally created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, the software has become the industry standard not only in raster graphics editing but in digital art as a whole. {Wikipedia}
It is widely considered as one of the most powerful image editors in the market, Adobe Photoshop is equipped with advanced features that can cater to a wide range of artistic professionals and hobbyists.
Layer-Based Software

Navigation Tools:

• Hand Toll (spaceBar & F)
• FullScreen (F)
• Layer PAnel (F7)
• Zoom Tool (Z)
• Move Tool (V)
• Ruler (ctrl+R)

 

Layers in PS
Photoshop layers are like sheets of stacked acetate. You can see through transparent areas of a layer to the layers below. You move a layer to position the content on the layer, like sliding a sheet of acetate in a stack. You can also change the opacity of a layer to make content partially transparent.

SmartLayers in PS
Smart Objects are layers that contain image data from raster or vector images, such as Photoshop or Illustrator files. Smart Objects preserve an image’s source content with all its original characteristics, enabling you to perform nondestructive editing to the layer.

Two Types:
i. VectorSmartObj
ii. RaasterSmartObj

Move Tool (V)

• To move or transform a shape/Text/Object within a Layer.
• Bounding box
• Selection
• Resize (ScaleUp & ScaleDown) an Object by Transform Tool key (crtl+t)
• Rotate an Object
• Skew
• Distort
• Perspective
• Wrap
• By using SHIFT & ALT keys, we can do all operations in Perfect Angles.

 

Marquee Tool (M)
Reverse Selection (ctrl+shft+i)
DeSelection (ctrl+D)

Lasso Tool (L )
To select, move, or delete any selected object/shape roughly.

• Polygon Lassoo Tool:
  • To select, move, or delete any Linear object/shape roughly.
• Magnetic Lassoo Tool:
  • To select, move, or delete any Linear, rounded or complex shapes or objects exactly pixel perfect.

 

Quick Selection & Magic Selection Tool:

>Select the Quick Selection tool in the Tools panel. Add a checkmark to the Auto-Enhance option in the Options bar. Click and drag over an area you want to select. The tool automatically selects similar tones and stops when it finds image edges

>The Magic Wand Tool, known simply as the Magic Wand, is one of the oldest selection tools in Photoshop. Unlike other selection tools that select pixels in an image based on shapes or by detecting object edges, the Magic Wand selects pixels based on tone and color.

Crop Tool:
The Crop Tool is used to crop or clip an image. It works on all the layers of the image, visible and invisible. This tool is often used to remove borders, or to eliminate unwanted areas to provide you with a more focused working area.

Pen Tool:
The Pen Tool in PS is the same as in AI. The purpose of the pen tool is to create and edit Anchor points and Paths.
There are

• Path
  • Makes Pixel Based Drawing
• Shape
  • Makes Vector-based Drawing

 

Brush Tool:
The Brush tool is a basic painting tool. It works like a traditional drawing tool by applying the color using strokes. It’s located in the standard Tool Bar and its default shortcut is the letter B. … Photoshop includes several built-in presets, that is in fact pre-made brushes ready to use.

Eraser Tool:
Photoshop’s eraser tool can be found in the second group of icons in the toolbox. It has three variations: Eraser, Background Eraser, and Magic Eraser. The eraser is basically a brush which erases pixels as you drag it across the image. Pixels are erased to transparency, or the background color if the layer is locked.
