  • Suppose you want to announce or sell something, amuse or persuade someone, explain a complicated system or demonstrate a process. In other words, you have a message you want to communicate. How do you “send” it? You could tell people one by one or broadcast by radio or loudspeaker. That's verbal communication. But if you use any visual medium at all-if you make a poster; type a letter; create a business logo, a magazine ad, or an album cover; even make a computer printout-you are using a form of visual communication called graphic design.

  • graphic design informs, persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides pleasure.
  • Designers often combine images and typography to communicate a client's message to an audience. They explore the creative possibilities presented by words (typography) and images (photography, illustration, and fine art). It is up to the designer not only to find or create appropriate letterforms and images but also to establish the best balance between them.

  • image
  • Symbols and logos are special, highly condensed information forms or identifiers. Symbols are abstract representation of a particular idea or identity. The CBS “eye” and the active “television” are symbolic forms, which we learn to recognize as representing a particular concept or company. Logotypes are corporate identifications based on a special typographical word treatment. Some identifiers are hybrid, or combinations of symbol and logotype. In order to create these identifiers, the designer must have a clear vision of the corporation or idea to be represented and of the audience to which the message is directed.
  • Image-based design Designers develop images to represent the ideas their clients want to communicate. Images can be incredibly powerful and compelling tools of communication, conveying not only information but also moods and emotions. People respond to images instinctively based on their personalities, associations, and previous experience. For example, you know that a chili pepper is hot, and this knowledge in combination with the image creates a visual pun. In the case of image-based design, the images must carry the entire message; there are few if any words to help. These images may be photographic, painted, drawn, or graphically rendered in many different ways. Image-based design is employed when the designer determines that, in a particular case, a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
  • Type-based design In some cases, designers rely on words to convey a message, but they use words differently from the ways writers do. To designers, what the words look like is as important as their meaning. The visual forms, whether typography (communication designed by means of the printed word) or handmade lettering, perform many communication functions. They can arrest your attention on a poster, identify the product name on a package or a truck, and present running text as the typography in a book does. Designers are experts at presenting information in a visual form in print or on film, packaging, or signs.
  • Graphic designers work with drawn, painted, photographed, or computer-generated images (pictures), but they also design the letterforms that make up various typefaces found in movie credits and TV ads; in books, magazines, and menus; and even on computer screens. Designers create, choose, and organize these elements-typography, images, and the so-called “white space” around them-to communicate a message. Graphic design is a part of your daily life. From humble things like gum wrappers to huge things like billboards to the T-shirt you're wearing, graphic design informs, persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides pleasure.

Design Elements

shared by Joseph D on 04 Sep 12 - Cached
  • This is the first and most important. Color is everything. It’s why we buy HDTV sets to get better color. You want to consider your product first. Is there a color that fits the item? Are you selling beach items, chose a sand color. Are you selling electronics, chose a metallic color. Next make sure the color is eye-catching but possible to look at. If you can’t stare at the color for at least the minimum amount of time that you’d want your customer’s attention, then don’t use it.
  • And I don’t mean “a line” I mean the line of the elements in your project. Stand back and squint at your creation. Notice the line of the text and the images. Where are the lines moving? They should all direct your customer’s attention from the top of your page to the bottom in a seamless movement. If you notice an out of place line the directs your eyes back to the top of the page or stops it all together then you need to rearrange a few items.
  • Squint again and notice the text as a block, or rectangular form, instead of individual lines. Notice the images or art as shapes. And notice the entire piece as a form. All of the forms should flow from one to another. Each form should direct your eye to the next form on the page from top to bottom, again in a seamless flowing line.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • I’ve already touched on this but this is very important. You want your customer to start at the top left corner and end in the bottom right corner. The traditional form of movement is a “Z” meaning the eye should start in the top left, go to the top right, make a diagonal to the bottom left, and end up in the bottom right. This form is ideal for advertising and web pages with a lot of graphics or images. The exception would be a page with all text, where you would want the reader’s eye to move left to right on each line.
  • We all pay attention to the amount of space that we use on our projects. What about the space that you don’t use? Do you notice that? Well it’s just as important. Stand back and squint again. Notice the percentage of items filling up your project, what is the percentage of negative, unused space? While you want to make the most of your space available, you don’t want all of it used up either. Using too much makes an ad look busy too little it looks empty. An appropriate percentage can be anywhere from 60% to 80% used space and 40% to 20% negative or unused space. Keep your percentages in that range and you’ll have a nicely balanced ad, web page, or project.
  • This is becoming important again with web design. All of the really cool and interesting textures that you can use for anything from backgrounds to text is amazing. Remember one thing that a texture carries almost as much weight to the eye as a photo. Just as you would not place a lot of photos on your page don’t use too many textures. Also watch your placement of these they can pull the eye away from where you want it to move.

  • Some Cyber intruders are homegrown, but many come from dozens of other countries, in particular China and Russia.
  • Intruders search, steal, destroy and unbeknownst to their hosts, alter data.
  • But these bad electrons, on the Internet, hide in plain sight.
  • The Russians still seek a military advantage. But, perhaps in an attempt to diversify a natural resource-dependent economy, they focus on securing financial data and viewing proprietary information. Mikhail Fradkov, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, said publicly:
  • The Chinese come for these reasons and more. They're sophisticated and very good. They use at least 100,000 full-time cyber-warriors, plus thousands of hackers-for-hire.
  • The French, North Koreans, Estonians and our Israeli friends, are deep into this game.
  • In 1994, less than 16 million people were on-line…and dial-up was king.
  • We considered using the Internet to empty the bank accounts of key Serbian leaders.
  • But it was also a wake-up call. In taking this step, we'd open Pandora's Box.
  • Yes, we'd could probably inflict great damage.
  • China, Russia and other countries, in an effort to reduce time and capital investments in research and development, at the expense of the United States, continue to use traditional human and technical methods of espionage.
  • Chinese attackers have extracted sensitive data from Google, Adobe, Yahoo, Dow Chemical, Symantec and the US Chamber of Commerce. The PRC, of course, denies its involvement. But with improvements in detection, tracking and occasional slip ups on their end, we'll know where they've been, or better yet, when they are in the act. Yet, even with these improvements we've found that many organizations are compromised for 6--12 months and even longer without detecting it.
  • And ultimately we'll need international protocols in order to corral hackers before they send bad electrons our way.
  • It will take much discussion within the US and around the globe, but increased cooperation will add value to the Net and save all legal participants a great deal of money. Secondly, cyber security is improving. But we need to invest in its constant improvement.
  • We probably have the technology now that can do this. We need the legislation, and the will to get it done.
  • The effort to protect a global Internet is not too different from when people debated how to decrease the number of airline hijackings.
  • But in the 1960's there were literally hundreds of hijackings.
  • The first recorded hijacking took place in 1931, when armed revolutionaries took over a plane in Lima, Peru.
  • The advent of Cuba as a preferred destination sure didn't help. And the friendly hijacking skies of North Africa also probably spurred on these airborne bandits. By the 1970's, almost every nation, including Cuba, which by then was seeing hijackers fly both ways,
  • So Nation states came together and hammered out agreements.
  • China and Russia have both experienced intrusions. But not many. Yet, if the Net remains the same, they like the Cubans before them will probably see the advantage of bringing genuine law and order to the cyber world.
  • the Chinese may just want to come to the bargaining table sooner, rather than later. Over Christmas holiday, Saint Nick hackers visited the Middle Kingdom spreading not-so-good-cheer across China's piece of the Internet. They picked up over 100 million Internet usernames, pass words and email addresses from some of China's most popular on-line sites …
  • This medieval icon shows a portion marked as "Terra Incognito"-- the unexplored territories, beyond the edge of the then-known world. A famous Latin phrase warns, "Here be Dragons." And yet there brave and resourceful men, then as now, who ventured into the unknown, discovered a new world, and unleashed one of the most expansive economic periods in history.
  • In 21st Century America, some worry about the dangers that may emerge from the cyber world, as well they should.
  • It's our tradition to actively meet the future with hope, optimism, and energy, as we step forward prepared to meet the unexpected.

Here are the quarterly estimated tax due dates for 2012. Estimated quarterly taxes are taxes paid throughout the year rather than all at once in April of the following year. These estimated taxes are paid by people working for themselves who do not have tax withheld automatically from the company they are working for.

  • What Is Graphic Design?
  • Graphic design combines the creativity and formal characteristics of fine art with the audience-centered approach of marketing to create effective visual communication. Unlike fine art, it is always in the service of the client’s needs.
  • To do this, designers analyze data about the intended audience, such as the audience’s class, gender, education, buying habits, personality traits, favorite magazines and television shows, and so on.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • articles & reports
  • Designers take that demographic and psychographic information and look at what that audience sees. For instance, if the intended audience loves Martha Stewart, designers look at Martha Stewart magazines, ads, and products to analyze their visual vocabulary (color, theme, shape, typeface, composition).
  • Design based in this understanding of the intended audience is highly successful. Trying to design without it is like trying to communicate without knowing the language of the listener.
  • In addition to a broad grounding in fine art, marketing, and creativity, graphic designers also build an extensive body of technical knowledge regarding paper stocks, printing inks, special processes such as foil-stamping or embossing, printing processes and limitations, digital file preparation, quality control, and troubleshooting. Graphic design encompasses any product that’s “ink-on-paper” (brochures, logos, book jackets, billboards, packaging, etc). Each medium has its own technical considerations that designers must master in order to achieve their intended effect.

what graphic designers do

shared by Jake R on 04 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • Graphic designers combine art and technology to communicate ideas through images and the layout of web screens and printed pages. They may use a variety of design elements to achieve artistic or decorative effects. They develop the overall layout and production design for advertisements, brochures, magazines, and corporate reports.Graphic designers work with both text and images. They often select the type, font, size, color, and line length of headlines, headings, and text. Graphic designers also decide how images and text will go together on a page or screen, including how much space each will have. When using text in layouts, graphic designers collaborate closely with writers who choose the words and decide whether the words will be put into paragraphs, lists, or tables.Graphic design is becoming increasingly important in the sales and marketing of products. Therefore, graphic designers, also referred to as graphic artists or communication designers, often work closely with people in advertising and promotions, public relations, and marketing.Frequently, designers specialize in a particular category or type of client. For example, some create credits for motion pictures, while others work with print media and create signs or posters.Graphic designers also need to keep up to date with the latest software and computer technologies to remain competitive.
