Lesson 6:

Imaging and Design for Online Environment

Infographics

In this lesson the teacher discussed about the Imaging and Design for Online Environment. In which I understand the basic principles of graphics and layout. I have had created a simple infographic using web tools. Thankfully understand and use several file formats used on the web.

I understand that there are six Basic Principles of Graphics and Layout. Here as it follows.

1. Balance. The visual weight of objects, texture, colors, and space is evenly distributed on the screen.
2. Emphasis. An area in the design that may appear different in size, texture, shape or color to attract the viewer’s attention.
3. Movement. Visual elements guide the viewer’s eyes around the screen.
4. 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.
5. Proportion. Visual elements create a sense of unity where they relate well with one another.
6. Variety. This uses several design elements to draw a viewer’s attention.

The teacher instructed that we should create a simple InfoGraphics about ourselves. So, let us clarify what does this thing is, 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.

The teacher gives us the knowledge about the Online Image File Formats.
