What is difference between Graphic Design and

Elements?
The elements of design are its components, such as color, type, and
images. The most commonly used elements in graphic design are as
follows. Not all graphics incorporate them every element; lines and
shapes in a design can provide great balance without a
photo, for example
The Elements of Design can be thought of as the things that make up an artwork (
the ingredients).
The Principal of design are ways to organize the elements of designs.
The elements of design create every object around us. Nothing can exist without
these ingredients. The discipline of learning the power of these elements and
formatting them within the principles of design is the responsibility of the
designer.

How we apply the principles of design determines how successful we are in


creating a work of art.

Elements of Design
Elements of design are the fundamental parts or aspects used to compose any work of
design.

1.Line
A Line is a mark between two points. Lines can channel certain ideas too.
There are various type of lines, from straight to squiggly to curved and more.
Straight ones can evoke order and neatness, wavy lines can create movement,
and zig-zagged lines can imply tension or excitement.Lines can be used for
wide range of purposes: stressing a word or phase, connecting content to one
another, creating patterns and much more.
2.COLOR
We response to color on many levels. Color is incredibly important and should
never be an afterthought. Even a design set entirely in grayscale needs to be
balanced and contrasted appropriately. Color can be used simply to describe an
object. It can also be used emotional (blue for sadness or spiritually, red for angry),
symbolically (associated with a flag's color, corporation logo or sports team) and
psychologically. The complimentary colors that equate to strong conflicting
emotions. The analogous color to create a very different feeling.

COLOUR:

Type of colour ;

Primary :- Red ,BLUE AND YELLOW.


SECONDARY :- PURPLE, GREEN AND ORANGE

TERTIARY :- RED-VIOLET, BLUE-VIOLET,BLUE-GREEN,YELLOW-GREEN

COLOUR RELATIONSHIPS:

Analogous Colour :- Neighbours; Blue & Blue –Green , Yellow &


Yellow-Orange.

Complementary Colour :- Opposites; Blue-Orange, Red –Green ,


Purple –Yellow.
Monochromatic Color :- Using Tints and Shades of one color.

3.SHAPE
Perceivable area. Shapes can be created by line, or by color and value changes
which define their edges. As with line, the decisions you make concerning shape
are important.
A shape is a self-contained defined area of geometric or organic form. The shapes
of the objects that you create or place in your images are positive shapes. The
spaces around these shapes are the negative spaces. It is just as important to be
attentive to the negative space as the positive shapes.

 Organic forms are typically irregular in outline, and often asymmetrical. Organic
forms are most often thought of as naturally occurring.
 Geometric forms are those which correspond to named regular shapes, such as
squares, rectangles, circles, cubes, spheres, cones, and other regular forms.
Architecture is usually composed of geometric forms. These forms are most often
thought of as constructed or made.

4.VALUE

Value how light or how dark an area looks. A gradient, shown above, is a great
way to visualize value everything from dark to white, all the shades in between,
has value. Use to create depth and light; to create a pattern; to lead the eye; or to
emphasize.

Amount of Light (tint) and Dark (shade).


5.SPACE
Space, or depth, is the eponymous property of our 3-dimensional world. It refers to the area
that a shape or form occupies. Space can be defined as positive or negative.

 Positive space is the filled space, the object(s) or element(s) in the design.
 Negative space is the empty space, or the open space between design elements or
objects, such as a background.

 Positive and negative space, white or black.


 Areas of a design that contain "nothing" (negative
space) are important visual elements that provide balance.

 Reducing (or increasing) negative space can affect the impact of a


design.

6.TEXTURE
Surface quality. USING texture in design is a great way to add depth and visual
interest .We experience actual texture when we touch objects and feel their
roughness, smoothness or patterns, which we can simulate or imply in digital
imagery. Printed material has actual, textile while screen material has implied
texture.

7.TYPE
Typography is an important element of design because it literally
conveys the message you want to communicate. But type can also be
more than words: if used in an intentional way, type can also be a
striking visual element or a shape, as well as provide structure between
the content and the visuals.
FORM
An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume; includes height, width AND depth (as
in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder). Form may also be free flowing.

SIZE
Use size to define importance, create visual interest in as design, attract attention and more.
