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.

21. Definition of

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.

29. Basic principle of
Graphics & layout
Imaging and Design For the Online Environment

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.

33. Symmetrical or
asymmetrical
Which is which?

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.

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

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.

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).
