Meet the Children of the Primary Colors

Lesson # 9 : Secondary colors

These are the children of the primary colors red, blue, and yellow. You get these three colors from mixing any two of the primary colors. 

      You get purple from mixing Red and blue together. Purple is loving , mysterious, and seductive.

 You get green from mixing yellow and blue together. Green is filled with energy and represents nature.


Last but not least you get orange by mixing red and yellow together. Boy , orange is an energy powerhouse  that screams for your attention. No I'm not talking about the fruit .

The 7 key elements in graphic design


Lesson # 4: Elements of Graphic design


#1-Line:
Lines can go in any direction , horizontal, vertical , diagonal , or curved, and they are the building blocks used in order to create shapes.

#2-Shape:  



Shapes are created with a series of lines connecting with one another. However other shapes , like the circle and oval, can be created from one never ending line. 

#3-Direction: 
Depending on the direction the line is going might represent a certain mood. For example vertical lines can represent balance. Horizontal lines could represent stability and diagonal lines could mean a rise/fall of something.

#4-Size:


This helps determine how big or small an object is or should be.

#5-Texture:



The look and feel of an object

#6-Color:

 
The number of ways our eyes can see a spectrum of light

#7-Value:
How light or dark an image or object is

Graphic designers do WHAT?! again o.0

Lesson #2:

Well what do you think they do , sit around a computer screen all day? Oh...wait ...they do lol. But trust me it's more fun then you think and holds greater important in the world than any other type of "designer" out there. At least that's what I think anyway.

So what does a graphic designer do :
Graphic designers first and foremost are visual communicators. They take their clients problems and turn them into visual designs that helps to send a message to the client's target audience.(Def from: www.BLS.com)

Here's a fun little video I found explaining a little bit more on the topic. Enjoy!



Check back to lesson 1 to see some of the things graphic designers create.

Tip: Graphic designers create visual messages to help clients reach a target audience.

Hw: None this week, lucky!

Graphic design's meaning for noobs

Lesson 1 :


      Look around you , what do you see? Well i know that your're probably surrounded by graphic design as i write this. In fact you see graphic design maybe over 1,000 times a day 24/7 , excluding the time your sleeping but i digress. So if your're planning on becoming a graphic designer or just want to learn about the craft. Then you first MUST know the definition!

Definition-(from AIGA.com)
Graphic design is the creative process that combines art with technology to help communicate ideas.  

There you have it , you now know the meaning of graphic design and your're one step closer to becoming a proper graphic designer. I bet you thought it would be a long winded definition huh?  Well anyway , now that you know what graphic design is actually about . Let me tell you the most popular uses of graphic design. Graphic design is used for creating

 logos 



Flyers

Posters

Brochures
Ads
Everyday Products
Magazine/books/newspaper

 the list goes on and on...and on. Graphic design is used for mostly everything we use in our everyday lives.

Tip: Graphic design is used to get people aware or to buy a product, service, event., or an idea. Graphic design's catch phrase is " Hey, look, check this out!"

Now at the end of each lesson I'll give you guys  a homework assignment. Don't worry it's optional if you don't want to participate that's fine. However I think it'll make this blog more fun interesting to read.. I'll give you 1 week to do each assignment, i'll try to keep them small projects, and at the end of that week. I will write a HW post where i critique some of the handed in projects. Now i wont give you a letter grade , unless you really want me too nor will i give any penalty for projects not turned in. Like i said before the HW is totally optional and there for anyone who wants to participate.  

HW #1: Find 1 example of graphic design being used either in real life or online.

How to hand in: E-mail your images to SabrinaSummers2000@Gmail.com. For the subject line put "Your name then the HW number". For example: "Sabrina Summers Hw #1" .
