- 4. Here are a few examples of what we traditionally think of when we think of lines: The first and most basic element of design is that of the line. In drawing, a line is the stroke of the pen or pencil but in graphic design, it’s any two connected points. Lines are useful for dividing space and drawing the eye to a specific location. For example, think about how a magazine uses lines to separate content, headlines and side panels.
- 5. How the elements are used and how they can be represented
- 6. Color is one of the most obvious elements of design, for both the user and the designer. It can stand alone, as a background, or be applied to other elements, like lines, shapes, textures or typography. Color creates a mood within the piece and tells a story about the brand. Every color says something different, and combinations can alter that impression further.
- 7. How the elements are used and how they can be represented
- 8. Shapes, geometric or organic, add interest. Shapes are defined by boundaries, such as a lines or color, and they are often used to emphasize a portion of the page. Everything is ultimately a shape, so you must always think in terms of how the various elements of your design are creating shapes, and how those shapes are interacting.
- 9. How the elements are used and how they can be represented
- 10. Perhaps the single most important part of graphic and web design is typography. Like color, texture, and shapes, the fonts you use tell readers you’re a serious online news magazine, a playful food blog or a vintage tea tins shop. Words are important, but the style of the words is equally essential.
- 11. How the elements are used and how they can be represented
- 12. Negative space is one of the most commonly underutilized and misunderstood aspects of designing for the page. The parts of the site that are left blank, whether that’s white or some other color, help to create an overall image. Use negative space to create shapes as you would any other element. Check out this article if you're interested in learning more about frequently used design terms like negative space.
- 13. How the elements are used and how they can be represented
- 14. It’s counter-intuitive to think about texture when the piece isn’t ever going to be touched. Websites and graphic design do rely on the look and impression of texture on the screen, however. Textures can create a more three-dimensional appearance on this two-dimensional surface. It also helps build an immersive world.
- 15. How the elements are used and how they can be represented
- 16. Playing with the scale and size of your objects, shapes, type and other elements add interest and emphasis. How boring would a symmetrical website with all similarly sized ingredients be? Very. But the amount of variation will depend heavily on the content within. Subtle differences suit professional content, while bold ones prefer creative enterprises.
- 17. How the elements are used and how they can be represented
- 18. While you can talk about emphasizing one thing or another, the element of emphasis has more to do with an object, color or style dominating another for a heightened sense of contrast. Contrast is intriguing, and it creates a focal point.
- 19. How the elements are used and how they can be represented
- 20. There are two schools of balance: symmetry and asymmetry. While most designers, artists, and creative folks much prefer asymmetry for its eye-catching nature, symmetry does have its place. Sometimes.
- 21. How the elements are used and how they can be represented
- 22. Harmony is “The main goal of graphic design,” according to Alex White, author of “The Elements of Graphic Design.” So, you know it must be important. Harmony is what you get when all the pieces work together. Nothing should be superfluous. Great design is just enough and never too much. Make sure all the details accord with one another before you consider the project complete.

- 24. There’s a lot more to simple design than you think. A product such as the iPhone may appear clean and unobtrusive to the naked eye, but there’s a lot going on beneath the surface that most people don’t know about. Nor do they need to. They only need to know that it will do what they need it to do, when they need it to do it. That’s the underlying principle of Apple-style minimal design. Not necessarily to “strip” something down, but to make sure it’s easy to figure out and access with as few distractions as possible. https://speckyboy.com/the-10-golden-rules-of-simple-clean-design https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/how-clean-is-your-web-design--webdesign-4664 https://www.canva.com/learn/five-principles-design-can/

- 26. To ensure your design is deliberate and each graphic component (images and type) is thoughtfully and deliberately positioned, consider employing these four reminders, which will aid awareness of how you position graphic elements in relation to each other and to the format. Have You MENT It? 1. M = midline Consider all graphic components in relation to the format’s midline. 2. E = edges Consider all graphic elements in response to the format’s edges. 3. N = negative shapes/space Consider all negative space. 4. T = transitions Consider all transitions among graphic elements. http://www.howdesign.com/design-business/design-thinking/design-hygiene-handy-design-checklist/ https://oss.adm.ntu.edu.sg/wanm0007/2015/09/21/design-principles/ http://thevisualcommunicationguy.com/2014/10/23/the-50-most-important-rules-of-document-design-color-crayon-tip-method/ http://www.canistercreative.com/blog/what-separates-good-design-bad https://uxplanet.org/10-small-design-mistakes-we-still-make-1cd5f60bc708
- 27. Serif and Sans Serif are two general categories of typefaces or fonts, and almost all the fonts we use in typing can be classified into these two categories. Though many of us are familiar with these two terms, what most of us really don’t know is the definite difference between serif and sans serif. The main difference between serif and sans serif is apparent is in their names itself. Serif is a little decorative stroke that extends from the letters. Therefore, serif can be described as fonts that contain small finishing strokes at the end of a character. Sans is the French word for without. Thus, sans serif fonts can be described as the fonts that do not have decorative strokes at the end of the characters. http://pediaa.com/difference-between-serif-and-sans-serif/
