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.
Space creates the visual essence and dynamic of a composition. In design there are two types of space: Positive Space and Negative Space.
