EvanF: Elements and Principles of Graphic Design

ELEMENTS OF GRAPHIC DESIGN

LINE

This image shows the element of line very well because each line makes up a picture of a fox. Also the way they curve the lines makes the fox look fluffy and 3D.

SHAPE

This image shows the element of shape because both animals are made up of multiple shapes. It makes the chicken and tiger look fake.

MASS

This picture greatly shows the element of mass. It shows mass by how big one dog is compared to the other. It makes the black and white dog look huge and the white dog look small.

TEXTURE

This show texture extremely well because for each letter of the alphabet there is a different texture. It helps the viewer feel the textures through their eyes.

COLOUR

This picture shows the element of colour exceptionally well. In the image everything is black and white except the eye colour which is rainbow which makes the eye pop out.

TYPE

This image of a flamingo shows the element of type because the word flamingo is made it look like a flamingo.

PRINCIPLES OF GRAPHIC

DESIGN

BALANCE

This design shows balance because it is symmetrical. It makes the image look clean and professional.

UNITY

This image shows unity because the hands are all grabbing onto each other making a square. It makes the viewer feel like the hand should be there.

ALIGNMENT

This ad shows alignment because some words are sideways when others are straight. This makes the words that are straight pop out to the viewer.

REPETITION

This image shows repetition because the coca cola bottle is repeated multiple times but is different colours in each one. This makes the viewer feel like coca cola isn’t always the same and can be different.

CONTRAST

These apples show contrast because one apple is red and the rest are green which makes the red one pop out. This makes the viewer feel like that apple is different and alone.
