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-2
Just to clarify on these design terms •\ Mock-Up Sketch or Wireframe: In this example is what you would draw, usually with a pen or pencil on paper, for the client as you listen to what their concerns and ideas are about the graphic. However, you may want to use your digital tablet or stylus as well, and this could be an easier and faster way to get your design digitized so that you are ready to start designing without the extra step of scanning. However, if you are more comfortable with paper and pencil, then in Chapter 3, I will present how to scan your mock-up using Photoshop and…

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…

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…

Accessibility Tools for Contrast and Color Blindness When Dealing with Text and Graphics – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics-3
Before you save the library on the right side, you will be alerted if the theme is or is not color blind safe. You will see the three main types of color blindness, using the color blind simulator: deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia. Though color blindness only affects roughly 8% of the population, more men than women, it’s good to make sure your design is easily readable and accessible to all. So continue to move the sliders around to adjust if you want your colors to be color blind safe if this is critical to your work. Note Vision is a key factor in how color is perceived by our brain.…

Accessibility Tools for Contrast and Color Blindness When Dealing with Text and Graphics – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics-1
One final thing to keep in mind when working with the color wheel is contrast. Are you using colors that have enough contrast? Are the colors distinct enough that they don’t blend into one another and disappear? You will know the difference because high contrast colors give a good range, while low contrast colors start to become difficult to tell the difference between. Here I am using six different colors in this fish, but if all the colors become too dark, each color becomes difficult to see. Refer to Figure 2-47. Figure 2-47. Fish images with high and low contrast swatches A good range of high contrast text is more…

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…

Color Harmony Definitions – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics-3
•\ Square: When dealing with four or more colors, there are a few harmony variety themes that can be created. The most common is the tetradic or double complement (square). Each color is set at 90 degrees to the other and then complements the opposite color. Note that another variation on this tetradic theme is the double split complementary, which is more rectangle-like than you looked at earlier, but this time, using the custom from the color harmony list with one of the swatches together with the other, you could create the custom setting. Swatches for the square can be moved inward and outward and spun around while keeping the…

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…
