About the video
The graphic part of graphic design is made up of visual elects, the building blocks of design. Through the harness of our artistic expression we choose these visual elements and arrange them on a surface in a layout to convey an idea. The basic visual elements that combine to create graphic design include the following: Line, Colour, Shape, Texture, Space, Form & Typography. Whatever work you produce, be it for a magazine, a poster, a website or advertisement, these visual elements will play a part in your design.
Form is described as any three-dimensional object. Forms are the 3D equivalents of shoes and as such are measured by their height, width and depth. Form can be illustrated or constructed and can be defined by the presence of shadows on services or faces of an object and can be enhance by tone, texture and colour.
