Graphic Design

Graphic design is much different than illustration design.

Graphic design calls for:

• A minimum amount of contrast.
• Focus on the primary information.
• Utilizing blank space.

Model Sheet Critique:

My types could be quieter.

Types don't have to be the same font for both heading and body.

Smaller type actually can read well.

Be aware of the gaps in between the element.

Justification.

Group similar objects while separating different ones.

Landscape orientation

If there is no focus, take one element and either alter the size to be double or half size. Adjust the rest of the elements accordingly.

The amount of information does not matter when designing a page. A good page will be able to include all of it.

In order to divide up the page and never have objects be similar size, divide each length according to 40/60.
