Computer Graphics
Computer Graphics:
- Digital Photography
- Digital Arts
- Films
- Video Games
Types of CG:
- 2D Graphics
- 3D Graphics
___ are digital images that are
computer-based. They include 2D geometric models,
such as image compositions, pixel art, digital art,
photographs, and text.
2D Computer Graphics
Early computers only supported ___
2D monochrome graphics
There are two kinds of 2D computer graphics, ___ and ____
Raster, Vector graphics
___are composed of a simple grid of
pixels, which can each be a different
color. These graphics are the most
common and are used for digital photos,
web graphics, icons, and other types of
images.
Raster
___ are made up of paths, which may
be lines, shapes, letters, or other scalable
objects. They are often used for creating
logos, signs, and other types of drawings.
Vector
___ are graphics that use 3D
representation of geometric data. This geometric data
is then manipulated by computers via 3D computer
graphics software in order to customize their display,
movements, and appearance.
3D Computer Graphics
It is a kind of graphics that started to become popular
in the 1990s, along with 3D rendering software such as
CAD and 3D animation programs.
3D Computer Graphics
Refers to the arrangement of elements on a page usually
referring to specific placement of image, text and style.
Layout
___ enhances the look of the particular object
and the objects as a whole piece of design in order to
create a strong composition.
Proper layout
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GRAPHICS AND LAYOUT
- Balance
- Emphasis
- Movement
- Pattern, Repetition, and Rhythm
- Proportion
- Variety
___ refers to the proper arrangement of the elements, which
gives a visual weight for the design. The visual weight of
objects, texture, colors, and space is evenly distributed on the
screen.
Balance
There are two types of Balance: ___ and ___
Symmetrical, Asymmetrical
___ refers to something that needs to stand-out or
emphasize. It is an area in the design that may appear different is size, texture, shape, or color to attract the viewer’s attention.
Emphasis
___ refers to the way the person’s eye travels over a design.
Visual elements guide the viewer’s eyes around the screen.
Movement
___ these are the repeating visual element on an image or
layout to create unity in the layout or image.
Pattern, Repetition, and Rhythm
___ uses the same element over and over again.
Repetition
___ is the repetition of multiple design elements.
Pattern
___ is achieved when visual
elements create a sense of organized
movement.
Rhythm
___ is the size of elements in relation to one another. Visual
elements create a sense of unity where they relate well with
one another.
Proportion
