About the value of Photoshop tutorials found on the Web much has been said. Simply follow steps how to achieve a certain effect, is Photoshop now increasingly available almost everyone knows how to use a computer.
Photoshop tutorials alone could not make a successful graphic designer. Sure, you can probably know how basic photo manipulation to do, but everything is free, if an idea on fundamental graphic design.
Graphic design is a process of for integrating the elements and principles of the Visual Arts to achieve an aesthetically pleasant and functional effect. The features vary by plant. Aesthetics, is subjective, as we all know. It is safe to say then that there no single formula for graphic design. The processes are not even consistent and depends much on designer's attitude, personality and motives.
Authors of Photoshop tutorials often subscribe to a rather bad idea. But it may not be that help, and you can not speak for everyone. It's the role of the learner Photoshop to get the necessary background graphic design and rely not only on reacting.
Firstly, a beginner should at least try Photoshop users to analyze your target audience. This is done to determine the purpose of your message. Abstract create visuals in painting, but not in graphic design. Each work should work. Part to achieve this is how the message relay forwards. Simply put, you must check your medium. If there is a poster where it will be placed? If it is a Web design, who meet to be?
After all have determined this, you can think of now, look like the design and behavior. You can use your text and graphics that organize based on this vision. Use the appropriate layout, fonts, styles, styles and spacing. You can edit each graphical element and the design overall. It would depend on much of your imagination. It is still more reliable than Photoshop tutorials.
But how, exactly, could questions? Now comes in the elements of graphic design. Let's start with the Basic.
Line. There are a lot of you, and each has its own design function. Straight, curve, thick, thin, broken lines to do independent or if other items fitted to organize text and graphics. It creates a Visual path that help your audience through design to follow. Lines give a sense of motion design. It guides the eyes of the spectator.
Shape. Psychologists were always fascinated with Forms. Remember: Rorschach inkblot test. Can use the same principle in your design. Know the audience learn, how do your thoughts on a visual appeal your own easy to manipulate. Form, more than any element symbolizes ideas.
Mass. The confusing part of Photoshop tutorials is, if the author start gossiping about the importance of the mass. Those who don't know anything about graphic design questions: "What in the world is visual weight?" Simply put, it's graphic and text elements create contrast to take a spectator's interest.
Texture. Another confusing thing about Photoshop tutorials is texture. The same question is often hang left. These are easy to understand if you already know your "relief" from your "shadow". Visual texture create contrast and interest. Dimension and personality added to the design. You provoked emotions and play on the spectator's eyes. If you hear someone say that a certain artwork seems alive, crafted texture manipulation is most likely.
Color. This is probably the easiest item control in graphic design, but is still often overlooked. Dealing with color is as simple as a color wheel and what color combination picking together works. But the tricky part here is learn color Association and symbolism. Just like forms psychologists learned colors cause some behavior towards spectators.
These are the five basic elements of graphic design. Proceeding apply these on your next Photoshop project, and notice how your skills can improve.
