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.
Everything is ultimately a shape. All objects are composed of shapes and all vials elements are shapes in some way. In design shapes have two dimensions and are measured by their height and width. Shapes are defined by boundaries such as with lines or colour. Shapes are used to add interest and substance to a piece of Graphic Design work. They can be used to decorate, they can be symbolic and can be used to create patterns and textures.
