Art 101 Intro Notes Tuesday, October 18, 2016

Graphic Design

Visual Communication

Graphic Design IS pure art

As a graphic designer, your message needs to be understood, to be effective; must be creative and effective

Demographics—target audience

Used to be called commercial art

Three Most Important Tools of  a Graphic Designer:

1. Type
2. Photography
3. Illustration

Typography

The art and science of letter forms

Art: Esthetic attraction 

Science: Human perception—how we see things, what’s pleasing to the eye, consistency. 

Letter form: Pictograph and ancient to us. 

Type Styles

1. Serif 
2. Sans Serif
3. Decorative

There’s a difference between type style and font

Font:All the characters of a type style. Some are limited and some of very extensive. ex: A,B,C,E,D,E,F,a.b,c,1,2,!,+, etc.

Serif: Projected wing ex: times new roman

Sans: Without a serif ex: Helvetica 

Decorative: ex: Commercial Script

• Picas: If we took a ruler, and divided the ruler into six divisions; six picas would equal one inch. A pica is about a sixth of an inch
• Points: There are 12 points in one pica. A point is a much smaller measurement than a pica
• There are 72 points in one inch
• There are six picas in one inch

• About 18 pt. and larger is display type
• 18 pt. and smaller is text type, or body copy
• Type size is measured in points and picas. 

Alignment 

If your writing is aligned on the left side of the margin it is called FLUSH LEFT

If your writing is aligned on the right side of the margin it is called FLUSH RIGHT

If the writing is aligned in the center of the margin it is called CENTERED

Leading

Space between the lines of type, makes it more legible, readable.
