Imaging and Design For the Online Environment
20
An Image is a
representation
of the external
form of a
person or thing
in art.
20. What is an image?
Imaging and Design For the Online Environment
21
• Images may be 2-dimensional,
such as a photograph or
screen display, or 3-
dimensional, such as a statue
or hologram. They may be
captured by optical devices –
such as cameras, mirrors,
lenses, telescopes,
microscopes, etc. and natural
objects and phenomena, such
as the human eye or water.
22. graphics
Imaging and Design For the Online Environment
23
• Are visual images or designs
on some surface, such as a
wall, canvas, screen, paper,
or stone to inform, illustrate,
or entertain
• Are visual representations of
data made on a computer
and is displayed on a
computer screen or monitor.
28. graphics
Imaging and Design For the Online Environment
29
• The process of planning and
arranging graphic element in a
page or template. A good layout
should have a balanced make up
and alignment of elements.
• Layout is part of graphic design
that deals in the arrangement of
visual elements on a page.
30. BALANCE
Basic principles of graphics and layout
31
• Balance means the equal
distribution of weight.
• In layout, visual weight is
determined by the darkness
or lightness, thickness of lines,
and size.
• Balance is crucial to the
success of design.
• There are two kinds of
balance:
• Symmetrical Balance
• Asymmetrical Balance
31. Symmetrical BALANCE
Basic principles of graphics and layout
32
• The order of elements are evenly
allocated on both sides of pages.
• The visual weight is distributed
evenly, either vertically or
horizontally.
• You can draw a line straight
through the middle of the design,
and the visual balance would be
evenly distributed.
32. asymmetrical BALANCE
Basic principles of graphics and layout
33
• The order of different objects of
the same weight on each side of
the page.
• There is an artistic and different
intensity on one side of the page.
• Color, Shape, size, texture & value
can be used on balancing elements.
38. PROXIMITY
Basic principles of graphics and layout
39
• Ensemble related objects together
and moved them physically close
to each other to create less clutter
and more organized layout.
• Organized information is more
likely to read and most probably
remembered.
• Things to remember:
• The organization is clearer.
• The white space is not trapped
within elements.
• There appears to be more room on
the page.
• Common materials that uses
proximity: brochure, flyers and
newsletter.
39. PROXIMITY
Basic principles of graphics and layout
40
a. When there are several elements, add white space. White
space can also mean empty space.
more visually
appealing
40. PROXIMITY
Basic principles of graphics and layout
41
b. Related items should be placed near to each other.

pleasing
41. White space
Basic principles of graphics and layout
42
• White Space is the art of nothing .
• Also known as the negative space.
• It is the portion of a page left
unmarked: margins, gutters, and
space between columns, lines of
type, graphics, figures, or objects
drawn or depicted.
• Two kinds of white space:
• Undefined white space
• Active white space
44. alignment
Basic principles of graphics and layout
45
• The Principle of
Alignment: “Nothing
should be placed on
the page arbitrarily.
Every item should
have a visual
connection with
something else on the
page.”
• Create Order
• Look Clean
ALIGN
MENT
47. repetition
Basic principles of graphics and layout
48
• The process of repeating
elements throughout a design
to give a unified look.
• Repetition goes with
consistency of your design on
font, font size, patterns,
colors.
• Repetition aids to organize
the information.
• Guides readers and helps to
make parts of the design
become more united.
51. repetition
Basic principles of graphics and layout
52
• Infographics is an example that
applied repetition to the design.
It repeatedly used callouts with
identical font size of inside texts.
52. infographics
Basic principles of graphics and layout
53
• Information graphics or infographics are used to
represent information, statistical data, or knowledge in a
graphical manner usually done in a creative way to attract
the viewer’s attention.
• Five Principles to create an effective infographics:
• Be Unique
• Make It Simple
• Be Creative and Bold
• Less is More
• The Importance of Getting it Across
58. INFOGRAPHIC EXAMPLE
Basic principles of graphics and layout
59
Infographic Video
– is a visual
representation of
data and
knowledge in the
form of an
online video.
59. color
Basic principles of graphics and layout
60
• Determined by its hue (name of
color), intensity (purity of the hue),
and value (lightness or darkness of
hue).
• Used for emphasis, or may elicit
emotions from viewers.
• Color Theory
• the study of how colors make people
feel and their effects on a design.
• COLOR VS HUE

79. contrast
Basic principles of graphics and layout
80
• Contrast is the divergence of
opposing elements (opposite
colours on the colour wheel, or
value light / dark, or direction –
horizontal / vertical).
• Contrast allows us to emphasize
or highlight key elements in
your design.
• Contrast can be applied through
the following:
• Color
• Size
• Shape
80. contrast
Basic principles of graphics and layout
81
In graphic design, colors do not need to be on opposite segments
(Bear, J.H., 2014).
HELLO
HELLO
made use of two clashing colors,
can be hurting to eyes

made use of two contrasting
colors, pleasing to eyes

94. File compression
Basic principles of graphics and layout
95
• Lossy: This compression type removes some
information from the image and lowers the overall
quality in order to reduce the file size.
• Lossless: This compression type does not remove any
information from the image, but it usually cannot
reduce the file size as much as lossy compression.

Analogous
Colors that are adjacent to one another on the color wheel are analogous.
Complementary
Are opposites on the color wheel. This relationship will produce visual tension and “shock”
Triadic
Are three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel. One color dominates, the second supports and the third accents

Opacity
Synonymous with non-transparency. The more transparent an image, the lower its opacity.
VISUAL DESIGN ELEMENTS
P.123 MIL TEACHING GUIDE BY CHED
1. Visual media and information – materials, programs, applications and the like that teachers and students use to formulate new information to aid learning through the use, analysis, evaluation and production of visual images.
2. Types of visual media – photography, video, screenshots, infographics, data visualization (charts and graphs), comic strips/cartoons, memes, visual note-taking, etc (Give examples of each type and highlight special characteristics of a given type and its application).
3. Formally and informally produced visual media – visual media produced by formal organizations such as schools, government, and established media/publishing outfits are considered formally produced. Other visual media are considered informally produced.
4. Purpose of visual information – the primary purpose of visual information is to gain attention, create meaning, and facilitate retention. (Show at least one example for each purpose and ask learners their reactions or responses to each one).

How was visual used in the poster?
Imagine the poster without visual. Which is more effective, with visual or none?
Discuss the following survey results about “The Power of Visual Content”
by DemandGen Report (2014):
a. Forty percent of people will respond better to visual information than plain text.
b. Publishers who use infographics grow in traffic an average of 12% more than those who don’t.
c. Eighty percent of what is seen is retained.
d. Conversions increase by 86 percent when videos are used in a landing page.
e. Twenty percent of words on a web page is read by the average user.
f. Landing pages with videos are 40 times more shareable.
Ask the learners what can be concluded about the importance of visual content based on the survey results.
Present this infographic to the learners
Ask learners whether they thought the infographic was a better way of presenting the results of the survey. The learners must be able to explain
why they think so.
Ask the learners if there are other ways of presenting the same information.
An Internet meme is a concept or idea that spreads "virally" from one person to another via the Internet. An Internet meme could be anything from an image to an email or video file; however, the most common meme is an image of a person or animal with a funny or witty caption.
