INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL DESIGN:

1.SECTION INTRO WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO LEARN:                               

This is an introduction video which gives information about videos present in next to this video about visual designing.

2.THE BASIC ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF VISUAL DESIGN:
  

SIX ELEMENTS OF VISUAL DESIGN

Although visual design on the web can be incredibly complex,all web designs boil down to six basic elements:

  • Lines
  • Shapes
  • Colour Palette
  • Texture
  • Typography
  • Form

LINES:  This helps to define shapes,divide sections,create separation and to have typical length,width &direction.

SHAPES:  It composed of self contained areas which includes the lines, values, colour, texture. In this all objects are composed of shapes.

COLOUR PALETTE:  It helps to differentiate with the shapes and items and to add depth & emphasis.It is used to organize information, to evoke emotion and feeling.

TEXTURE:  It gives the illusion of how a surface feels and doesn’t have to be a real texture, like dirt, or paper. It is used to either attract or divert attention.

TYPOGRAPHY:  It is used to change the fonts, size, colour, spacing, alignment.

FORM:  It helps to create illusion of objects and to add depth & texture to create 3D objects. It is used to accentuate a message, or provide visual appeal.

SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF VISUAL DESIGN

While there are no official “industry standard” rules for visual design-as the beauty of a design purely depends on the audience-there are a set of widely accepted guidelines,or “principles”,when it comes to visual communications. The basic principles boil down to the following:

  • Balance
  • Rhythm
  • Proportion
  • Space
  • Dominance
  • Hierarchy
  • Unity

BALANCE:  Arrangement & distribution of objects to create meaning i.e. symmetric and asymmetric.

RHYTHM:  It creates movement ,repetition of elements and can establish pattern and texture.

PROPORTION:  It is also known as “scale”. It demonstrates how each item relates in size.

SPACE:  It is also known as “white space” . It is used to reduce noise, clutter, and increase reliability.

DOMINANCE:  It is used as a focal point and it can achieved through size, colour, shape, etc. It is used to communicate the primary message.

HIERARCHY:  It is used to differentiate primary and secondary focus. It can achieved through size, colour, & placement.

UNITY:  This is about  the big picture of a design and how all elements are related or unrelated,grouping of similar elements.                                               

3.THE DESIGN CRAP PRINCIPLES:               

The CRAP principles are:

REPETITION:-Consistency in elements and style throughout your design creates a cohesive feel,and can help guide the user throughout our website.

ALIGNMENT:-It creates clear relationship between elements ,nothing should feel out of place ,unless its intentional.

PROXIMITY:-It creates a clear relationship between elements ,grouped elements are related ,separate elements are not related.

4.TYPOGRAPHY BASICS:

Typography means it gives a voice to written content,it increases readability,gives content form and can shape a message ,gives flow to the message. 

5.THE SCIENCE OF COLOUR OF COLOR: 

It can convey a mood ,or a feeling. The words frilly and freaky conjure different feelings and colour palettes. colors are used for the designers to emphasise an object or message .They also use color to de-emphasize objects

COLOUR WHEEL:-We ca see which colours sit near each other.This has allowed us to establish an official vocabulary for colour schemes.Different cultures perceive the meaning of colour differently.

ANALOGOUS:-analogous means it is next to each other on the colour wheel ,it is similar to similar temperature ,Minimal contrast ,Dissonant.

COMPLEMENTARY:-It is opposites on the wheel,opposites temperature and it creates a different mood than an analogous scheme.

There are some pure unmixed colour:-

  • PRIMARY COLORS:-Red,blue,yellow
  • SECONDARY COLORS:-Orange,Purple-ad greenMade of 2 Primary colours mixed together.
  • TERTIARY COLOUR:-Red-Orange,Red-Violet,Blue-Violet,Blue-green,Yellow-Green,Yellow-Green,Yellow-Orange made of 1 primary and 1 secondary mixed together.

HUE:-One of the main properties of colour .Where a colour sits on the spectrum, or colour wheel.

SATURATION:- How colorful a photo is,or is not.

BRIGHTNESS:-How much light is added to,or remove from, a photo.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR CREATING A COLOUR PALETTE:-

  • Know the purpose and message. 
  • Review the colour basics.
  • choose a dominant colour.
  • choose an accent colour.
  • Experiment with different shades  and hues.
  • keep it simple ,limit colours.
  • Record your colour palette for reference.

6.DESIGNING WITH GRIDS:

Way back in the mid 1800s ,a dude named William Morris and his buddy ,Philip Webb, designed a house where the rooms were organised according to purpose -in a grid-like fashion.This led people to rethink how books were laid out , and incorporated a grid.

FAST FORWARD:-Today,grids are very commonly used in web design.Grids on the internet help organise large amount of information in easy-to-navigate, digestible information.

APPROACHES:-

  • Single Column
  • Multi Column
  • Modular
  • Hierarchical

USES OF GRIDS:- It keeps content organised,creates an order by distinguishing different types of information ,Enhances navigation and usability,saves design time ,because you have limitations to work within.

8.SECTION AUTO WRAP UP FURTHER LEARNING WHAT NEXT:

In this video we use some web Sites to create designs.some of them are

          INTRODUCTION TO HTML

1. Section Intro HTML Fundamentals, First Web page, Course Files:

         It is about the introduction to html. HTML is nothing but hyper text mark up language

2.The Basics of HTML Tags, Attributes, Elements:

             Structure Of html:

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

           I’ve learnt about elements such as tags, attributes , Elements.

INTERMEDIATE HTML

1.Section Intro HTML Tags, Code a Real Web Page:

           It’s about the introduction to html.

2. Basic Structure of an HTML Document:

          I’ve learnt about the basic structure of html . Here is the basic structure:

        ADVANCED HTML HTML5

1. Section Intro Advanced HTML Techniques, HTML5:

HTML5 is the latest version of Hypertext Markup Language, the code that describes web pages. It’s actually three kinds of code: HTML, which provides the structure; Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which take care of presentation; and JavaScript, which makes things happen.

 2.IDs Classes:

The id attribute specifies a unique id for an HTML element (the value must be unique within the HTML document).

The id value can be used by CSS and JavaScript to perform certain tasks for a unique element with the specified id value.

3.Span Div Tag:

The HTML <spantag is used for grouping and applying styles to inline elements. The difference between the <spantag and the <divtag is that the <spantag is used with inline elements whilst the <divtag is used with block-level content.

4.Intro to HTML5 Tags Header, Footer, Nav, Section, Article, Aside Time:

     I’ve learnt about Html5 tags. The following are some of them

  • <article>
  • <aside>
  • <details>
  • <figcaption>
  • <figure>
  • <footer>
  • <header>
  • <main>
  • <mark>
  • <nav>
  • <section>
  • <summary>
  • <time>

9. EXPERT HTML HTML5:

   It’s about the introduction to Expert Html.

  2.New HTML5 Inputs:


HTML5 added several new input types. some of them are:
  • color.
  • date.
  • datetime-local.
  • email.
  • month.
  • number.
  • range.
  • search.

3.Making Internet Explorer Compatible with HTML5:

    The following are the steps for making Internet Explorer compatible with

HTML 5:

  1. Click Start.
  2. On the search bar, type Internet Options, and click on Internet Options from the results.
  3. Click on the Advanced tab.
  4. Under Multimedia, check Enable alternative codecs in HTML5 media elements.
  5. Restart your computer.

4.HTML ATTRIBUTES:

The data-* attributes is used to store custom data private to the page or application.

The data-* attributes gives us the ability to embed custom data attributes on all HTML elements.

For instance, let’s say you have a list of different restaurants on a web page. Before HTML5, if you wanted to store information about the type of food offered by restaurants or their distance from the visitor, you would have used the HTML class attribute. What if you also needed to store the restaurant id to see which particular restaurant the user would want to visit?

Here are a few problems with the approach based on the HTML class attribute.

  • The HTML class attribute is not meant to store data like this. Its main purpose is to allow the developer to assign style information to a set of elements.
  • Each additional piece of information requires us to add a new class to our element. This makes it harder to parse the data in JavaScript to actually get what we need.
  • Let’s say a given class name begins with numbers. If you decide to later style the elements based on that data in the class name, you will have to either escape the number or use attribute selectors in your style sheet.

To get rid of these issues, HTML5 has introduced custom data attributes. All attributes on an element whose name starts with data- are data attributes. You can also use these data attributes to style your elements.

Thanking you sir,

yours faithfully,
