Texture is everywhere as we navigate the world around us by both sight and touch. Texture This design by bomba really pops of the page because of the excellent vintage textures that make it seem chromed and shiny. A designer progresses by leaps and bounds once she sees everything in her design as shapes that need to be ordered and sized based on an invisible grid. Other components of a composition, like blocks of text, are also shapes.
They can be geometric (squares, ellipses, triangles, etc) or organic (a speech bubble, a blob, those little spiky things that pop on the screen when Batman punches someone). While our kindergarten teachers all hope we know what a shape is, for our purposes, a shape is any enclosed space defined by lines or in contrast to its surroundings. Shape The diamond shapes in this website design draw the eye toward different pieces of information making it easier for the viewer to digest and navigate. Finally, consider what color space ( CMYK or RGB) is best for the printer or screen where the design will be seen. Learn the basics of color theory to be sure a composition has the right mood, temperature and tone. In addition to hue (red versus blue), consider the saturation and brightness (or “value”) of each color. Even a design set entirely in grayscale needs to be balanced and contrasted appropriately. Color is incredibly important and should never be an afterthought. Often designs are undone by sloppy, careless or inappropriate color choices. Color These beautiful and evocative illustrations are made more effective by great color choices. The eye will also see lines in other places-think buildings, branches of a tree, a horizon, or a set of train tracks-that offer a natural edge or borders.
They can be formed into shapes or frames (more on both of those a bit further down). Lines can be used to emphasize, setting particular information off in a busy composition and drawing the eye to a particular area.
A diagonal line, for example, has kinetic energy and movement, while a straight line is more ordered and clean. They can be smooth, rough, continuous, broken, thick or thin. Lines enclose and contain the parts of a design by creating outlines. The building’s edge creates a stunning visual line in this webpage design.
