Working with Your Team and Your Client in Design to Create a Mock-Up Sketch and Mood Board and Keep the Theme – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics-1
As a designer, you certainly want to keep your designs as original as possible and not copy others’ work or at the very least reference them. Nevertheless, it is a good idea to review what others have done on similar topics so that you know how and where you can improve your own artwork. In your case, you want to make sure that you or your team can come up with a successful infographic. One member of the team may have done the research and you may be the designer, you would then need to consult with your client to ensure that you understand the process they want you to…

Instructional – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics
Instructional •\ Recipes •\ Product assembly •\ Complex technologies made easier to understand (cars, electronics, and robotics) This is not necessarily an exhaustive list; it merely just shows there is a wide range of topics that you can draw from if you want to start creating an infographic. However, there may be some topics that are easier than others to explain as infographics. Nevertheless, being creative in your display and researching the topic is important as we will look at in the next section, later chapters, and Volumes 2 and 3. Other topics may not be that interesting for the general public to pay attention to and so may not…

How Research Plays an Important Role in Your Infographic Creation – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics
As mentioned in Chapter 1, both the logo and infographic require you to research your topic thoroughly to know what the client wants for the final design. In the case of the logo, it may be a better understanding of the history of the company or client or what processes are involved or what is manufactured in the company or what the company is associated with to give you an idea of what the final logo will be. However, with an infographic, more research is required as you may be showing a process at the company or maybe something beyond what the company does. If you do not understand the…

Color Science 2D and 3D visualization – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics-1
From what you have seen so far about the color wheel, it may seem like color is pretty two dimensional, but this is not so. Just like in nature which has three dimensions, so is the range of color. Some colors, while we can see them in the visual world, just can’t be reproduced on the screen or in print. They go out of gamut or out of range. To imagine three-dimensional color, we need to know what the three dimensions are. Earlier in the chapter, we looked briefly at a compression chart CIE chromaticity diagram for comparison. Refer back to Figure 2-6. This figure showed a spread-out color wheel…

Base Color Settings and Eyedropper – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics
You can change the base color that you base all your other colors on by clicking one of the other five colors in the bar colors below the color wheel to add a white or black triangle. Refer back to Figure 2-17. This will attach a white triangle to that swatch in the color wheel, and then you can move the color slider around on the wheel to make the other colors complement it. Below the color wheel, you will see the white and black dots on the left; these will allow you to select and set all colors one at a time when selected, which you will see the…

•\ Split Complementary: To deal with this intenseness, you can create a split complementary that uses three hues, where one hue in the original complement is split to hues over to the left or the right, and these arm swatches can be moved closer or farther from the base color inward or outward. Refer to Figure 2-25.\ Figure 2-25. Adobe Color Split Complementary options on the wheel and resulting swatches based on base color selection You can then choose to use only the hues on the left or the right or on both sides of the complement. One thing to remember, when dealing with complementary, is you need a good…

•\ Analogous (analog): A color combination where two, three, four, or even five hues can be touching or adjacent. First, a base or active color is chosen, and then the other colors move based on the placement of that color. You can then move to other colors together on the wheel as you cycle around; this is true for all color themes and harmonies. A variation on analogous is known as split analogous, which you could create if you drag on one of the outer colors on the wheel using the custom option. This makes the hues one step apart. A good tip to remember about analogous is this combination…

The Science of Color – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics-2
In the case of the computer screen, the light primary colors are red, green, and blue, and a full combination of all three when added together produces white light. In combinations of two, we get secondary colors, such as combining red and blue, we get magenta; or blue and green, we get cyan; and red and green surprisingly, we get yellow. Depending on the technology used, LED, LCD, or plasma pixel lights, in their respective wavelengths on the screen, are so small that our mind is fooled into believing that we are seeing only one solid color, but we are not. RGB color mode is one of the most common…
