VISUAL DESIGN ELEMENTS
- the building blocks or basic units in the construction of
a visual image.
a. Line
describes a shape or outline. It can create texture and can
be thick or thin. Lines may be:

• actual
• implied
• vertical
• horizontal
• diagonal
• contour lines.
b. Shape
usually a geometric area that stands out from the space
next to or around it, or because of differences in value, color, or texture.
Shape may also be organic.
c. Value
the degree of light and dark in a design. It is the
contrast between black and white and all the tones in between. Value
can be used with color as well as black and white. Contrast is the
extreme changes between values.
d. Texture
the way a surface feels or is perceived to feel.
Texture can be added to attract or repel interest to a visual element.
Visual texture is the illusion of the surfaces peaks and valleys, resulting
in a feeling of smoothness or roughness in objects.
e. Color-determined by its hue (name of color), intensity (purity of the
hue), and value (lightness or darkness of hue). Color and color combination
can play a large role in the design. Color may be used for emphasis, or may
elicit emotions from viewers. Color maybe warm, cool, or neutral. It plays a
major role in our visual perception, as it influences our reactions about the
world around us. It is therefore important to create color palettes that
evoke the appropriate audience reactions.
f. Form
a figure having volume and thickness. An illusion of
a 3-dimensional object can be implied with the use of light and shading.
Form can be viewed from many angles.
