The is specific example of iterative design. 1/22/2024 1) Bezier Curve: The curve you make in illustrator with the pen tool where you can change the angle by dragging the points on the handle. 2) Artboard: The printable portion of the work area, where illustrations can be finalized. 1/23/2024 1) Printing specs: (For art being printed on paper) Files should be set CMYK. The resolution (Pixel per inch) should be 300. 2) Screen Specs (Websites/electronic graphics) Files should be set to RGB. This resolution should be 72. This is clear enough for viewing on screen and will download faster. 1/24/2024 1) Raster (Bitmap): An image in photoshop made up square enlarged without losing quality since the pixels will get bigger, making it look blurry. All photographic images are raster/bitmap. 2) Vector: Graphic that created mathematically and can be enlarged without losing quality. examples in photoshop are the shape tool, text, and pen tool. (and all adobe illustrator files) 1/25/2024 1) Dimension: The exact (w x h) of your file/artboard. examples: 8x10 inches or 1980x1020. (The first number is the width and second is the height or length. 2) Proportion/Aspect Ratio: The ratio of an image's width and height. it is often written with a colon between two numbers. example: 16:9 or 4:3. 1/26/2024 1) Kerning: The space between 2 characters of text. 2) Tracking: The space between a group of text characters 1/29/2024 1) Leading: The vertical space between lines of text in a paragraph (or any stacked text) 2) Hierarchy: The arrangement of elements in a way that indicates their relative importance, allowing viewers to understand the order of importance within a design. 1/31/2024 1) Gamut: The range of color used in a color space for example fluorescent neon colors can not be printed on your ink-jet printer so they are out of gamut. 2) Color depth/Bit depth how much color information is available for each pixel in an image example would be 8, 16, or 32 bits/pixel. The larger number have much better quality a standard JPG is 8. 2/1/2024 1) Alignment: The placement or arrangement of elements in a design along a visual axis (such as left, right, center, justified) to create balance and order. 2) Whitespace/negative space: The empty or unmarked areas in design, strategically used to create balance, clarity, and emphasis 2/2/2024 1) Mockup: A scale or full-size model used for design presentations, often showing how a design will look in its intended environment. 2) Brand Identity: The visual elements (logos, colors, typograph, etc) that represent a company or brand and help different it from competitors February Bell-work: 2/5/2024 1) Symmetry: The work of art is the same on one side as the other, a mirror image of itself, on both sides of a centerline. 2) Radial Symmetry : A form of symmetry in which identical parts are arranged in circular fashion around the central axis 2/6/2024 3) Contrast: The arrangement of different elements in a design to create visual interest, emphasis, or a focal point. Contrast can be achieved through variation in color, size, shape, texture, or typography. 4) Emphasis: The principle of design that highlights the most important elements in a compositions to draw the viewer's attention. Emphasis can be achieved through size, color, contrast, or positioning. 2/7/2024 5) PNG: A file type used for online (NOT printing) that has a transparent background. 6) RAW File: An uncompressed file directly exported from a camera with the most detail possible for editing. After editing, RAW files are often compressed into JPG files. 2/8/2024 7) Release: A legal document giving permission from the copyright holder to use copyright materials 8) Metadata: Information about an image file such as copyright information. You can set this at File>file Info. 2/9/2024 9) Rasterize: To convert a vector image to pixels (raster image). Text and shapes created with the shape tool are the only vectors in Photoshop 10) Resample: To change the dimensions of a raster image by adding or deleting pixels through sampling. 2/12/2024 11) Gradient: A gradual fade between colors. 12) Rule of Thirds: The technique of using a grid of three rows and columns and placing important elements where the lines meet. 2/13/2024 13) Crop: To cut out unnecessary parts of an image to improve framing, highlight a subject or change the image's aspect ratio. 14) Grayscale: The use of only black, white, and shades of gray in an image. 2/14/2024 15) Saturation: The intensity (brightness) of a color. 16) Value: The lightness or darkness of a color. 2/15/2024 17) Creative Commons: Copyright license that allows anyone to use a work in certain ways with permission from that creator. 18) Non-Commercial: Copyright license that does not allow profit to be made from the use of a creative works. 2/16/2024 19) Public Domain: creative work that can be used without permission because it is owned by the public and not an individual. 20) Development Order: 1-Planning, 2- Designing, 3-Building, 4-Testing, 5-Publishing. 2/20/2024 21) Orientation: Specify a page orientation for the document as either portrait or landscape. 22) Foreground: Elements in a composition that are closest to the viewer. 2/21/2024 23) No Derivatives: copyright license that allows others to use a creative work but it cannot be changed in any way. 24) Share Alike: copyright license that allows others to reuse, remix, and modify a creative work, but any derivative (changed) works must be distributed under the same terms and conditions as the original work. 2/22/2024 25) Iterative Design: involves a continuous cycle of planning, analysis, implementation, and evaluation. 26) Rule of Thirds: The technique of using a grid of three rows and columns and placing important elements where the lines meet. 2/23/2024 27) Gestalt Principle: when things appear to be similar to each other, we group them together. 28) Emphasis: The principle of design that highlights the most important elements in a composition to draw the viewer's attention.
