Principals of graphic design.

Balance.

One very important principle or design rule that graphic designers aim to follow is balance. Balance is what gives a design stability. It makes an image look fluid and free rather than heavy and uneven. Symmetry is an element of this principals, it covers the layout of the design.

Unity.

Rhythm and unity are the design principles that bring everything together. By repeating an image within designs rhythm and a sense of organization is created . The design principle of unity dictates that everything on the page is visually joined to something else therefore giving the work a feeling of wholeness.

Software that I use in my graphic design work.

Photoshop.

Photoshop is an editing program that I’ve used in my project it the probably the most essential program to use in graphic design as its where I take my primary images and turn them into all kinds of designs. The list of things that you can do on Photoshop is endless but we mostly use it to edit the colour and texture of an image and layout whatever type of thing we’re doing in lesson whether it be a postcard, or poster ect.

Microsoft word

 Microsoft word is primary Word processer that we use in lesson, we use it mostly when doing research or evaluation of work.

Adobe Flash cs5

Flash is something we will be using in our work it is used in processes such as web design and game design, it is about designing online on a larger scale than Photoshop, and adding movement.
