Visual Design Basics is a primer to visual literacy. It teaches the fundamentals of visual design in seven sections: lines, shapes, angles and curves, rhythm, proportion and scale, balance, and groups and colors.
Users learn that even a simple line “speaks” and that horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines each send differing emotional messages. What does a square mean? What is the message of a rectangle? Does a square room “feel” different than a rectangular room? What is the “feeling” and “meaning” differences between an angle and a curve? Viewers know they like rhythm in music, but what about visual rhythm? How do you give rooms, fashion, or products “a beat” the eyes can dance to? See how proportion, balance, and scale are part of any visual design from public monuments to dining rooms.
