B. Elements of Graphic Design
The basic elements of graphic design consists of two-dimensional line, form, color, contrast, value, texture, and format.
1. Line
Line is a sign made by the drawing tool to pass through the surface. Tools that are used to portray the other pencil, ball-point pen, brush poinyed, keyboard, mouse, and so forth.
2. Shape
Is a form of a general picture of something or a closed formation, or a closed point. Many depict the way in the form of two-dimensional surface. One way is to delineate the form of line. Lines can be used to describe the form of a flat, for example, a circle 9bola), elip, cylinder or texture. How do these forms will be drawn display quality. In the Federal Express ad that uses the form. Ad, entitled "Box" won the award "Gold Lion" at the Cannes Festival 2001 and "Gold" at the Adfest 2002. KDDI ad with the title "Tyde-Up" using the basic elements of shape. These ads won the award "Bronze" at Advest 2002. Another way to describe the use of color and collage. Regional gray color that are generated from black and white form that is not made with the line. Thus, with a different color line.
3. Designing Color
Color is a graphic element that is very strong and provocative. Four colors (not white) will improve the effectiveness and cost of the ad. Thus Multimedia, which is designed in accordance with the preferred color of the market will provide competitive advantage in advertising. Color handful when creating the graphic design work that orisil and when the layer of multimedia displays, both in and televise the web.
4. Contrast Value
The value is used to describe the range of brightness and darkness of a visual element. Relations between the one element with the other elements associated with the brightness and darkness called the contrast value. Contrast values provide the image and perception in detail. We need contrast to the value of reading or writing words on a layer of multimedia. Writing in the layer which has almost the same value we create difficulties can not even read it. Use the value of contrast, for example, if the type of white paper, then layer black. Differences in the value of the contrast effect will vary baikvisual and the emotional. If the value of the narrow range of contrast called the contrast low, but if the range is called high-value high contrast.
5. Texture
Is the quality of surface texture or quality of board or paper or electronic page. In art, the texture is categorized into two, namely the texture tactile and visual texture. Tactile texture is real, we can feel the surface with our fingers while the texture is the visual illusion, texture gives the impression that the simple texture of the concrete.
6. Format
Graphic elements such as line, form, color, texture, contrast values, format, video and audio from multimedia to make a difference to the impact of multimedia and costs. A slight restructuring of the mechanical elements in the multimedia can improve their ability to attract the attention. The format consists of the size and illustration. Ads for large-size attract more attention than the small size of ads, which are not as cost differences. Illustration of illustration image, the relationship marks illustrations, and illustrated symbol.
