Graphic Designing is the art of representing an idea by combining shapes, text, colors, and images. It includes everything from fine arts to printed advertisements to modern day mobile application designs. The impact of graphic designs, imageries, video content, etc. over the target audience has always exceeded textual information. Businesses have largely experienced the power of graphic designing in leaving a lasting impression on their audience to improve sales. Aspiring graphic designers need to understand the basics behind uplifting graphic designs to provide effective UX design services.

 

This blog post explains the six basic principles of graphic designing and how they collectively enhance a brand’s identity.

 

Fundamental Principles of Graphic Designing

 

1. Lines

Lines are the most basic building blocks of design. They are portrayed in visual designs in the form of patterns, alignment, borders, and other design elements. Also, lines neatly divide the content of the web interface, thus giving clear direction to the user.

Furthermore, there’s one philosophical aspect related to the usage of lines for visual communication. Vertical lines symbolize stability and strength, while horizontal lines communicate tranquility and calmness. Diagonal lines are the latest trend in web design services because they represent consistent movement and action.

 

2. Color

Every color evokes different emotions and impacts the undertone of a message significantly.  UX designers use the dynamic color theory that defines the rules and guidelines to use colors in visual designs effectively.

 

3. Shape

An enclosed 2D figure that has a recognizable border is called a shape. Providers of website and mobile app design services blend different shapes to add a tinge of creativity to web interfaces. Shapes are also essential design elements for creating business logos and custom illustrations.  3D shapes and illustrations are the latest trends among graphic designers.

4. Space

Space is the most recent design element that has attracted the attention of graphic designers. The concept of experimenting with negative space in digital designs has become the latest fad among logo design services. Wider spaces separate elements from each other and narrow spaces develop a relationship between visual elements.

6. Typography

Typography is the process or organizing and displaying text using different font sizes and styles. It is, therefore, essential for graphic designers to balance the typography of a brand’s message to justify the brand’s personality.
