Slide Content

Module 1: Introduction to Graphics and Visual Computing

Introduction to Graphics and Visual Computing Graphics and Visual Computing is a field that focuses on creating, manipulating, and visualizing images and animations using computers . It combines technology and creativity to make visuals for things like movies, games, advertisements, and interactive tools.

What is Graphic Design? Graphic design is a craft where professionals create visual content to communicate messages. By applying visual hierarchy and page layout techniques, designers use typography and pictures to meet users’ specific needs and focus on the logic of displaying elements in interactive designs, to optimize the user experience.

Graphic Design by definition The term graphic design can refer to a number of artistic and professional disciplines which focus on visual communication and presentation. Methods Various methods are used to create and combine symbols, images and/or words to create a visual representation of ideas and messages

Geometry Shapes Geometric shapes are the ones we first learn about as little kids. They're the simplest, most common shapes of all: squares, circles, triangles and their derivatives, such as rectangles, ovals and polygons

Geometric Shapes Types of Geometric Shapes In geometry, when an object or a shape is not connected with both ends, it is considered an open geometric shape. When an object or a shape is connected with both ends it is considered a closed geometric shape. There are two types of geometric shapes classified as: Two-dimensional geometric shapes:  These are 2D shapes   that have only the x-axis and y-axis. They are flat structures with 2 dimensions. For example, triangle, square, rectangle, etc. Three-dimensional geometric shapes:  These are 3D shapes that have an x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. The z-axis represents the height of the object. They are solid structures with 3 dimensions. For example, cube, cuboid , etc.

Natural/Organic Shapes Natural/Organic shapes are those that represent things we know about nature and life around us. The most common organic shapes are plant-based, like flowers and leaves. Another kind of organic shapes are those that represent forms we can create ourselves, like paint splatters or watercolor blobs. 

ABSTRACt SHAPES Abstract Abstract shapes are depictions of real things without being exact representations. The icons we see in web design, our phones and in street signs are abstract shapes that we are quite used to seeing and can easily recognize. A great example of an abstract shape is a stick figure, which represents a person. Symbols are also considered abstract shapes.

Texture

Texture Texture refers to the surface quality in a work of art. We associate textures with the way that things look or feel. Everything has some type of texture. We describe things as being rough, smooth, silky, shiny, fuzzy and so on. Some things feel just as they appear; this is called  real or actual texture
