Graphic design considerations

A good graphic design is not just throwing some elements on a page. Its all about creating a visually attractive and pleasing to eyes designs. The following factors needs to be considered while graphic designing:-

Proximity
Some believe that filled space is good design. This misconception leads to bad design. White space is advantageous, and scattered design makes information inaccessible. Proximity simply means grouping related items together. Move them close together so the human eye can recognize and it should make a appealing sense. It's a visual cue that the reader will understand almost immediately. Unrelated items should not be placed in proximity. The items placed in proximity should have a logical connection to make sense.
Placing elements anywhere can create a messy unprofessional appearance.


Good alignment means everything related is placed on the page. Each item should have a visual relationship with something else on the page. Properly aligned items create a pleasing appearance. Readers know that, although the items may not be in close proximity, they certainly are all a part of a system. Lack of cohesive alignment is a major cause of bad design.

Repetition
The idea of repetition involves including reoccurring images that repeat throughout your piece. It doesn't matter if you're designing a newsletter or a website, repetition is important. The repetitive element can be a logo, font, photo, or whatever you want. Repetition unifies your design. To create a consistent web page, stationary system, or e-book, you need a strong display of repetition. Readers must be able to understand that all of the pages are related. Repetitive elements establish continuity, and present a professional appearance.

Contrast
Contrast is a terrific way to add visual interest to your graphic design. Contrast results from placing two vastly different elements together in close proximity.. Contrast can be created in a variety of ways. You can use an extremely large font with an extremely small one. The possibilities are endless. Contrast get immediate attention of the reader but make sure it should not be awkward.
