• Layout


  The organization of preset items on a page, such as an image, text, and style. It determines the overall appearance and interactions of the graphic elements in order to generate a fluid flow of message and eye movement for optimum effectiveness or impact.
• Graphic


  A picture or visual representation of a thing. As a result, computer graphics are essentially images shown on a computer screen. Graphics are frequently compared with text, which is made up of characters such as numbers and letters rather than pictures.
• Basic Principles of Graphics Layout

  • Balance
  • Emphasis
  • Movement
  • Pattern, Repetition, and Rhythm
  • Proportion
  • Variety
• Infographics


  Information graphics or infographics are used to represent information, statistical data, or knowledge in a graphical manner usually done in a creative way to attract the viewer's attention.

• Simple Ways to Enhance Images

  • Cropping
  • Blurring
  • Saturation
  • Contrast
  • Brightness
  • Filters
  • Arrangement
  • Frames
  • Layering
  • Text
  • Auto Enhance
  • Photo Effects
• Cropping can remove unwanted or distracting areas, improve the composition, or help emphasize a focal point
• Blurring can create a smooth, uncluttered background and retain recognizable shapes or scenes
• Increasing saturation produces bolder and brighter colors, while decreasing saturation produces more faded colors
• Increasing contrast produces lighter lights, darker darks, and a wider range of tones in between
• Adjusting brightness can improve an image that is too dark
• Filters can be used to add special or artistic effects, or to correct issues in an image
• Aligning design elements to a grid is a way to create a clean and organized layout
• Frames can draw attention to an image and set a specific style or mood
• Screens or overlays can be used to make an image less noticeable, allowing text or other elements to show up better
• Combining images and text is a powerful way to communicate visually
• Auto Enhance can quickly adjust an image's brightness, clarity, and color
• Canva's photo effects library offers a variety of ways to enhance and transform images

  • Proportion
  • Variety
• Balance


  The visual weight of objects, texture, colors, and space is evenly distributed on the screen.
• Emphasis


  An area in the design that may appear different in size, texture, shape or color to attract the viewer's attention.
• Movement


  Visual elements guide the viewer's eyes around the screen.
• Pattern, Repetition, and Rhythm


  These are the repeating visual element on an image or layout to create unity in the layout or image. Rhythm is achieved when visual elements create a sense of organized movement.
• Proportion


  Visual elements create a sense of unity where they relate well with one another.
• Variety


  This uses several design elements to draw a viewer's attention.

  • Line
  • Shapes
  • Value
  • Form
  • Texture
  • Color
• Line


  Refers to an outline that sometimes create a shape. Its texture can be thick or thin, may be vertical horizontal, diagonal, implied, actual or contour lines.
• Shapes


  Refers to an object that stands out. Shape may also be geometrical or organic.
• Value


  Refers to the lightness or darkness in a design. It refers to the changes between black and white and all the tones in between.
• Form


  Refer to the volume or thickness of an object. The illusion of a 3D-object created through the manipulation of light and shading.
• Texture


  The way a platform or a surface supposed to feel. Visual texture is the illusion of the surfaces peaks and valleys resulting in a feeling of smoothness or roughness in an object.
• Color


  Is the element of art that involves light. It is produced when light waves strike an object and are reflected into our eyes. It consists of three properties: hue, intensity, and value.
• Contrast


  Is a principle of art that refers to the arrangement of opposite elements (light vs. dark colors, rough vs. smooth textures, large vs. small shapes, etc.)
