Down:
1) The original design or idea created and either displayed on the screen (for instance, if you are a graphic designer specializing in web design and you want to show your client your ideas before you begin to code you might create a mockup in Photoshop and then show the client the mockup as a .jpg or PDF) or in a printed format (for example, a printed copy of the layout for a magazine or brochure spread for printer’s and clients to view before the actual product is produced). Mockups allow the client to see what the final product should look like.2) In graphic design, alignment refers to keeping the elements on the page connected, or aligned, so the elements, when put together, flow well. Each item placed on a page (or web site) should be somehow connected with the others for proper alignment.3) A graphic design term that refers to creating depth to a graphic design product so they have dimension rather than appearing flat. This can be done through the use of patterns behind color, for instance. 5) Illustrator (Adobe) – Program used by many graphic designers for creating vector images, such as logos and other graphics used for print and online purposes.
InDesign (Adobe) – Program used by many graphic designers who deal with magazine, brochure or other print material layouts. Allows the designer or other professional to create a layout, insert photographs or images, add text and send to printer as a completed booklet, pamphlet or other printed item.8) A vector image, such as a logo, is one that can be easily resized without loss of quality.Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygons—all of which are based on mathematical expressions—to represent images in computer graphics.9) In graphic design terms, the focal point is where you want to draw the reader’s or viewer’s eye. This may be large or it may be small. Sometimes graphic designers create a focal point by placing only one tiny object on a page, and in this case the focal point is obvious. Other times the focal point may be within a variety of elements.11) An important concept in graphic design, grids are often used in layouts for both web and print projects. Grids help graphic designers arrange text and images on the page in a way that will look even, attractive and consistent throughout. Grids can be used on paper or can be set up in graphic design software, such as Photoshop.12) The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.14) The area on a page that is left without images and words is referred to as negative or white space. This negative or white space is very important in graphic design projects.18) The art of arranging type, which includes letters, numbers and symbols, so that it is pleasing to the eye. This includes not only the font that is used but how it is arranged on the page: letter by letter, size, line spacing, etc. Typography is an important part of creating a pleasing final graphic design product.21) This color mode is used for web design, digital cameras, scanners and other electronics and combines the colors red, green and blue to create what is seen on the screen.
23) a boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction. In the context of design (hard copy, electronic file, web based, video), space is an area activated by visual elements.27) Leading is the vertical spacing measured in points between lines of type which is measured between the baselines of set type. The baseline is where most letters rest and anything below that line (ie the bottom of a lower case g ) would be a descender. The strips of lead used for line spacing were named leading after the material it was made from. |

4) It's the relative degree of lightness and darkness in a design element.6) A graphic design term that refers to creating depth to a graphic design product so they have dimension rather than appearing flat. This can be done through the use of patterns behind color, for instance. 7) In typography, creating the perfect space between characters (letters) so they work together. For instance, understanding when a letter should be moved slightly because it pushes into another.10) Six basic elements are used to create an attractive graphic design project. These include line, shape, value, space, texture and color. Learn more about these six elements in our Introduction to Graphic Design course.13) Number of dots per inch, or dpi, in an image. Images for the web are usually be around 72 dpi, or a low resolution, while images for print should be around 300 dpi, or a higher resolution.15) The colors that are opposite of each other when viewed on the color wheel.16) Program used by many graphic designers and photographers to create or edit photographs and images.17) Lines and curves are marks that span a distance between two endpoints (or the path of a moving point). A line has a width, direction, and length. A line's width is sometimes called its "thickness". Lines are sometimes called "strokes", especially when referring to lines in digital artwork.19) These images are created using thousands of pixels. They are not easily resized as are Vector images; enlarging a raster image too much will diminish quality. Photographs are an example of a raster image.20) This color mode used by printers uses cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) to create colors during the printing process.22) Allowing a graphic or some other element to extend beyond the actual margin of the page. The element touches the side of the page, leaving no margin or white space at the edge24) It's the methodology of visual communication, and problem-solving through the use of type, space and image.25) PPI, or pixels per inch, refers to the number of pixels per inch in an image.26) This color mode used by printers uses cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) to create colors during the printing process.28) Enclosed space. Shapes can be geometric (e.g., square, circle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the shape of a puddle, blob, leaf, boomerang, etc.).29) DPI, or dots per inch30) Lines and curves are marks that span a distance between two endpoints (or the path of a moving point). A line has a width, direction, and length. A line's width is sometimes called its "thickness". Lines are sometimes called "strokes", especially when referring to lines in digital artwork. |
