Six Elements of Design – Six basic elements are used to create an attractive graphic design project. These include line, shape, value, space, texture and color.
Typography – The art of arranging type, which includes letters, numbers and symbols, so that it is pleasing to the eye. This includes not only the font that is used but how it is arranged on the page: letter by letter, size, line spacing, etc. Typography is an important part of creating a pleasing final graphic design product.
Texture – A graphic design term that refers to creating depth to a graphic design product so they have dimension rather than appearing flat. This can be done through the use of patterns behind color, for instance.
Vector image – A vector image, such as a logo, is one that can be easily resized without loss of quality.
logogram: a single written symbol that represents an entire word or phrase without indicating its pronunciation
Sans serif: A style of typeface in which there are no small lines at the end of each character stroke. Common sans serif typefaces include Arial, Helvetica and Verdana.

Lorem ipsum: Lorem ipsum is a form of “filler” used as a placeholder for text in a design. This scrambled Latin text allows designers to create design layouts without having access to the final written copy.
Vector graphic: An image made up of paths and curves (vectors) rather than a grid of pixels. Unlike raster images, these are able to be enlarged without losing image quality. Vector graphic file extensions include .EPS, .AI, .SVG and .DRW.
Bitmap: Defines a display space and the color for each pixel or “bit” in the display space. It is characterized by the number of pixels and the information content per pixel.
JPEG: A JPEG is an example of a graphic image file type that contains bitmaps. It is created for compressing full-color or grey-scale digital images of real-world scenes. It was not designed for lettering or cartoons.
Pixel: The smallest unit of a digital image or graphic that can be displayed and represented on a digital display device.

PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN -
The principles of design describe the ways that artists use the elements of art in a work of art.
Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space.
If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel
stable. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design are
similar to those on the other side; in asymmetrical balance, the sides are different
but still look balanced. In radial balance, the elements are arranged around a central
point and may be similar.
Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the
artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could
be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc.
Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal
areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the
work of art.
Pattern is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art.
Repetition works with pattern to make the work of art seem active. The repetition
of elements of design creates unity within the work of art.
Proportion is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or number)
relate well with each other. When drawing the human figure, proportion can refer
to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body.
Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to
create a feeling of organized movement. Rhythm creates a mood like music or
dancing. To keep rhythm exciting and active, variety is essential.
Variety is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention and
to guide the viewer’s eye through and around the work of art.
Unity is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which creates
a sense of completeness.

Please copy the following vocab in your sketchbook - I will be checking it when you are complete. (Graded)
Complementary colors – The colors that are opposite of each other when viewed on the color wheel.
DPI – DPI, or dots per inch, refers to the clarity of an image due to the number of dots of ink that make up a picture that is printed on paper.
Focal point – In graphic design terms, the focal point is where you want to draw the reader’s or viewer’s eye. This may be large or it may be small. Sometimes graphic designers create a focal point by placing only one tiny object on a page, and in this case the focal point is obvious. Other times the focal point may be within a variety of elements.
Grid – An important concept in graphic design, grids are often used in layouts for both web and print projects. Grids help graphic designers arrange text and images on the page in a way that will look even, attractive and consistent throughout. Grids can be used on paper or can be set up in graphic design software, such as Photoshop.
Negative space – The area on a page that is left without images and words is referred to as negative or white space. This negative or white space is very important in graphic design projects.
Raster images – These images are created using thousands of pixels. They are not easily resized as are Vector images; enlarging a raster image too much will diminish quality. Photographs are an example of a raster image.
Resolution – Number of dots per inch, or dpi, in an image. Images for the web are usually be around 72 dpi, or a low resolution, while images for print should be around 300 dpi, or a higher resolution.
RGB – This color mode is used for web design, digital cameras, scanners and other electronics and combines the colors red, green and blue to create what is seen on the screen.

3D Style Retro Text Effect Tutorial
In this tutorial you’ll learn how to create dimensional text inspired by vintage packaging designs and logotypes. Pour a cup of coffee, sit back, and let’s create some text with the help of Illustrator effects, the Blend Tool, and textures fit for the branding of a coffee house.
Final Image
Step 1
- In Adobe Illustrator, Select FILE, NEW, PRINT, US LETTER
- Start with your font of choice. In this case, I chose Lobster 2, but you choose GILL SANS MT EXT CONDENSED BOLD. FONT SIZE: 105 pts
- Write out your text or title with the Type Tool (T). I chose “Italian Roast”, but you will use your FIRST AND LAST NAME
- Select your name, then expand your text under Object, and then Ungroup your text. This will outline your letters individually.
Step 2
- I think one of your words needs a flourish, I chose “Roast." You choose the last letter in your last name
- Using the Paintbrush Tool (B) I drew a swooping line from the letter “T” that moves to the left and stops below the “R”. I made sure to have the line start from under the T so it is easy to connect later.
- Apply a thick stroke to the path in the Stroke panel (under window).
- Use your selection tool and your anchor points to taper the tail of the flourish to make the path thinner at that end.
- Once you’ve got the flourish in a position and shape that you enjoy, Expand it in Object and Group together with your word (in this case it’s been Grouped with “Roast”). You have to select both the letter and the flourish in order to group using the pathfinder tool and combining the shapes.
- I think one of your words needs a flourish, I chose “Roast." You choose the last letter in your last name
- Using the Paintbrush Tool (B) I drew a swooping line from the letter “T” that moves to the left and stops below the “R”. I made sure to have the line start from under the T so it is easy to connect later.
- Apply a thick stroke to the path in the Stroke panel (under window).

- Once you’ve got the flourish in a position and shape that you enjoy, Expand it in Object and Group together with your word (in this case it’s been Grouped with “Roast”). You have to select both the letter and the flourish in order to group using the pathfinder tool and combining the shapes.
Step 3
- In order to make sure the flourish drawn in the previous step fits in with the text group seamlessly,
- Zoom (Z) in so you can work on the details of the final letter.
- I’ve used the Pen Tool (P) in order to draw a shape that hides the little kick on the end of the “T” and flows into the expanded flourish path.
- In order to make sure the flourish drawn in the previous step fits in with the text group seamlessly,
- Zoom (Z) in so you can work on the details of the final letter.
- I’ve used the Pen Tool (P) in order to draw a shape that hides the little kick on the end of the “T” and flows into the expanded flourish path.
Step 4
- I’ll mainly focus on the word “Italian” in this tutorial, since the process for the text treatment is the same for both word groups.
- Select the “Italian” group and hit Unite in the Pathfinder panel.
- With the newly compound shape selected, go to Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel and apply the following attributes:
X Axis: 7°
Y Axis: 12°
Z Axis: 0°
Extrude Depth: 50pt
Surface: Plastic Shading

Y Axis: 12°
Z Axis: 0°
Extrude Depth: 50pt
Surface: Plastic Shading
Step 5
- With your new 3D text selected, Expand Appearance under Object and Ungroup.
- Select the face of the text (the letters without their 3D counterpart) and set the fill color to a light color: cream, pale mint, etc.
- Group together the 3D components of lettering. We’ll be adjusting the fill colors of those pieces in the following steps.
- With your new 3D text selected, Expand Appearance under Object and Ungroup.
- Select the face of the text (the letters without their 3D counterpart) and set the fill color to a light color: cream, pale mint, etc.
- Group together the 3D components of lettering. We’ll be adjusting the fill colors of those pieces in the following steps.
Step 6
You’ll need two colors for the 3D components of your text. In this case I chose teal and darker teal.
- Using the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the bottom components of the 3D text and apply the darkest shadow color as the fill color (see below).
- For anything that is on the right side of each letter and not a part of a curve, apply the lighter shadow color as the fill color (see below).

- For anything that is on the right side of each letter and not a part of a curve, apply the lighter shadow color as the fill color (see below).
Step 7
- For curving shapes in the 3D text, you’ll apply a Linear Gradient going from the lighter shadow color to the darker shadow color using the Gradient panel to sort out the gradient’s angle.
- I’ve circled the sections of the 3D portion of the text where the gradients were placed. Once satisfied with the shadow colors and gradients of the 3D text, make sure it’s all Grouped together and Unhide the rest of your text.
- Repeat Steps 4-7 on any other text you may have in your artboard.

- Repeat Steps 4-7 on any other text you may have in your artboard.
Step 8
- Select the face of your text (the group from Step 5), Copy (Control – C), Paste (Control – V), and go to Object > Path > Offset Path… where you’ll apply a -1px Offset.
- With both the copied text face and the offset object selected, hit Minus Front in the Pathfinder panel. For the fill color, choose something lighter than the text’s face color (light cream, seen below). Copy and Paste this outline shape and apply a color darker than the mint used for the face of the text.
- Select the face of your text (the group from Step 5), Copy (Control – C), Paste (Control – V), and go to Object > Path > Offset Path… where you’ll apply a -1px Offset.
- With both the copied text face and the offset object selected, hit Minus Front in the Pathfinder panel. For the fill color, choose something lighter than the text’s face color (light cream, seen below). Copy and Paste this outline shape and apply a color darker than the mint used for the face of the text.
Step 9
- Place this second outline shape to the right of the light cream outline shape and below it in the Layers panel. Copy, Paste, and Align (in the Align panel) the text’s face group with itself.
- With the copied face and the green outline shape selected, hit Control-7 in order to create a Clipping Mask.
- Repeat Steps 8-9 on your other text (if applicable).
- Place this second outline shape to the right of the light cream outline shape and below it in the Layers panel. Copy, Paste, and Align (in the Align panel) the text’s face group with itself.
- With the copied face and the green outline shape selected, hit Control-7 in order to create a Clipping Mask.
- Repeat Steps 8-9 on your other text (if applicable).
Step 10
- Group your text together, Copy, and Paste. Unite the Pasted text group in Pathfinder.
- Set the fill color to an even darker color (in this case a very dark teal) and place it behind the text group in the Layers panel.
- Move it to the left and downward (see below) so it forms a bit of a drop shadow.
- Group your text together, Copy, and Paste. Unite the Pasted text group in Pathfinder.
- Set the fill color to an even darker color (in this case a very dark teal) and place it behind the text group in the Layers panel.
- Move it to the left and downward (see below) so it forms a bit of a drop shadow.
Step 11
- The background I’ve been using (whose texture was not covered in this tutorial, since it’s not a part of the final piece) is much too light for this color scheme.
- Using the Rounded Rectangle Tool, I drew a rounded rectangle over the artboard, behind the text groups, in a green-gray color.

- Using the Rounded Rectangle Tool, I drew a rounded rectangle over the artboard, behind the text groups, in a green-gray color.
Step 12
Repeat Step 10 and give any other text a simple drop shadow.
Repeat Step 10 and give any other text a simple drop shadow.
Step 13
- Copy and Paste the drop shadows twice into two separate groups.
- Reduce the Opacity of the second group to 10% in the Transparency panel.
- Make sure it has been moved to the left and downward from the first group.
- Use the Blend Tool (W) to apply a smooth blend of 45 Steps.
- Place this blend group behind the drop shadows and text.
- Copy and Paste the drop shadows twice into two separate groups.
- Reduce the Opacity of the second group to 10% in the Transparency panel.
- Make sure it has been moved to the left and downward from the first group.
- Use the Blend Tool (W) to apply a smooth blend of 45 Steps.
- Place this blend group behind the drop shadows and text.
Step 14
- For the texture used over the top of the final piece, Copy and Paste the background rounded rectangle, but make sure it’s above the other layers in the Layers panel.
- Set the fill color to dark gray and go to Effect > Pixelate > Mezzotint.
- Choose Medium Lines as the Mezzotint type.
- In the Transparency panel, set the Blend Mode to Soft Light and Opacity to 43%.
- For the texture used over the top of the final piece, Copy and Paste the background rounded rectangle, but make sure it’s above the other layers in the Layers panel.
- Set the fill color to dark gray and go to Effect > Pixelate > Mezzotint.

Vocab - Your favorite! Please write in your sketchbook and bring to me when you are done for a grade.
The Principles of Design:
Balance - This refers to the ways one can achieve visual balance in a design using ways such as symmetrical, radial, formal, and informal methods. There is also the rule of “thirds” on a visual platform that one can use to achieve balance.
Proximity/Unity - Keeping like items together and creating unity by how close or far apart elements are from each other.
Alignment - While centered text has its place, it is often the mark of a novice designer. Learn how to align text and graphics to create more interesting, dynamic, or appropriate layouts.
Repetition- Get an understanding of the importance of consistency for the reader and ways to create a consistent and balanced look through different types of repetition.
Contrast- Big vs. small, black vs. white. These are some ways to create contrast and visual interest.
White Space- The art of nothing is another description for this principle. View examples of the use of white space in design to determine what does and doesn't work.

Good Morning!
1) Check Genesis for any missing assignments, by now you should have posted your NON-REP, Cheeseburger, and have turned in your signed form, completed your blogger with your about me page, completed and handed in your vocab and panel tools, and shared your google Drive.
2) Complete the Tutorial below - post as JPEG on your Blog (TITLE: Tutorial #2, Pathfinder
Adobe Illustrator Tutorials: The Pathfinder Panel, PART 1
(Open Illustrator, FILE, NEW, LETTER, then click WINDOW, click Pathfinder)
Follow step by step:
Starting with pretty basic shapes in Illustrator can end up in quite complex and interesting layouts. If you combine ellipses, rectangles and other lines you can produce complicated paths otherwise impossible (or I would rather say extremely time consuming) to achieve with the Pen tool alone. The tool needed for doing that is the Pathfinder Panel.
If we take a look at the panel we see that there are two rows of icons. The first row of icons (Shape Modes) creates compound shapes while the second one (Pathfinders) creates similar results but it focuses mainly on the paths themselves rather than the produced shape itself. Let’s see what each icon is doing.
a. Add to shape area 
Supposing you have the following two rectangles.
If you select both and click on this button in fact you are adding the one shape to the other resulting in a shape that combines these two rectangles.
The combined result gets a yellow fill, since stacking order of the shapes is important when performing the pathfinder operations. Attributes of the top shape will be used by Illustrator for the combined result properties. By using the direct selection tool 
you can make adjustments of each one of the two shapes directly updating the resulting compound shape. For example, try moving the lower right rectangle further to the right as seen below.
you no longer have the ability to separately manipulate each individual shape and what you get is ONE FINAL shape for further actions. If you want to add the two shapes and expand to one final shape in one step, then press and hold the ALT key and click on the add button. It saves you time, as long as you are sure about the final shape.
b. Subtract from Shape Area 
Let’s go back to our two initial rectangles (Create two new ones).
If you select both and click on the Subtract button, then you subtract the top most shape from what lies beneath it. So if you perform the operation you get the following result.
Like before, you can adjust the appearance of the resulting shape by editing each one of the components separately. Here, with the direct selection tool I’ve moved the subtracted shape diagonally towards the upper left corner.
Click on the expand button and you get the final ONE shape.
c. Intersect shape areas 
If we create two rectangles again, and click on the Intersect button, we get a compound shape that is only the Intersecting area of the two rectangles. Click on the expand button and you produce a small yellow rectangle.
d. Exclude overlapping shape areas 
Create two new triangles again. If we click on the exclude button, then we get the inverse result. We have a shape with an empty area. This area is the overlapping area of both rectangles. Do it and you’ll end up with the following shape.
EXPORT your new shapes as a JPEG and post to your blog -
