Graphic design
Graphic design is a large and complicated field:it encompasses user needs, information architecture,
navigation design, and visual designTeaching graphic design is outside the scope of this
courseYou will not be assessed on the finer points of your
design choices

Graphic design and multimedia
You are (probably) not a graphic designer:If you have the funds, employ one
Do-it-yourself design:Keep it simpleMake use of designs you have within your assets

Graphic design and multimedia
Graphic design is as much about effective communication as it is about visual appeal
You can express the relationships between elements:distribution between pages/screensthrough the narratives of navigationthrough visual association

Some basic principles of design
1. Movement
2. Balance
3. Emphasis
4. Unity
![Page 6: Visual Design Robert Munro 2005. Graphic design Graphic design is a large and complicated field: it encompasses user needs, information architecture,](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ea05503460f94ba3198/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1. Movement
Anticipated movement:what elements look like they should move?what event(s) should accompany movement?
Rhythm:the way a user’s eye will flow through an imagedepends on the image contentsdepends on the user’s language and culture

2. Balance
Distribution of objects across the screenBalance can be achieved through:
colourvalue (lightness/darkness contrast)shapepositiontextureeye direction

3. Emphasis
What do you want users to focus on?Determined by:
contrastisolationplacementmovementchange of state

4. Unity
How do elements fit together?Can be created through:
proximityrepetitioncontinuation

Example: Hearing Voices
Movement:Rythmn:
vertical?
