Master Study of Elements of Design Poster
This infographic is a Master Study of Elements of Design poster originally designed by Paper Leaf. The clean design, single font, and bold colors made the original design a perfect infographic to conduct a master study on. The layout for this assignment was collaborated on by both Jennifer Humlicek and Nicole Leal (graphic design students). The study was both a lesson in the elements of design as well as an exercise in becoming more proficient using Adobe Illustrator. There are a total of 22 layers used in Illustrator to achieve the finished infographic layout. Multiple AI tools such as the line tool, shape, and gradient were used to demonstrate the different elements of design. The various colors used in this master study exercise are similar to those used in the original design to try to complete the study as closely as possible. BebasNeue is the font that was selected for this assignment as it appeared to be similar to the font in the original. The elements of design seen in the infographic are; line, color, texture, shape, size, value and space. After learning how to create the initial layer each additional layer became easier as they were mostly repetitive due to using a single font. This master study was successful as it does appear to closely resemble the original. Below is the link to the original poster by Paper Leaf.
Print vs. Web Infographic & Master Study of Typography Guide
The infographics above
were both made in Illustrator and used graphic elements. Understanding of how
to use layers, grouping, and effects were used. Rulers were the first part of
the process before starting anything else. The first infographic was original
and shows the understanding of Web vs Print and how PPI affects the resolution
of photos for printing. A select amount of file formats were chosen while there
are plenty the most popular were put as an example. The typography guide was a
master study of another infographic by TutorialShare and the purpose was to learn about
illustrator. For the master study Nicole Leal and Jennifer Humlicek collaborated to show the comprehension of layers,
grouping items together, and choosing different font faces as well as
distinguishing the different type of typefaces.
