Illustration Layout and Typesetting —— How to Make Handwritten Newspaper Inserts

What are the precautions in layout design? Layout design is the core part of graphic design, which arranges all the elements of graphic design in an organized and purposeful way. Layout design is an important means of visual communication, which combines all kinds of words, graphics and TINT that undertake the task of information transmission, making the picture a relaxed, rigid, flexible and dramatic stage.

Layout design is an artistic design to meet the needs of more information dissemination, artistically treat the carrier of information dissemination, and make it vividly and efficiently convey information. It has extremely high aesthetic value and economic and practical functions. Next, let's discuss the main points of layout design.

Layout design form

Layout design is closely related to artistic expression, and the application of aesthetic expression can bring people different aesthetic feelings. It is mainly expressed by means of rhythm change, symmetry change, contrast change, proportion change, order change and virtual reality change.

① Balance and symmetry. One of the most common means in layout design is the use of balance and symmetry, which generally exists in different layout designs. In the process of practical application, it is easy to get people's recognition and stabilize people's thoughts and emotions by using this symmetrical expression.

(2) Network format. Grid composition forms a design form by dividing the whole layout into various grid areas. You can not only create regular graphics, but also use invisible grid lines. For example, creating irregular edges and blurring the boundaries between different graphics will produce vivid effects, which is a novel layout design style.

(3) blank space and virtual reality. Blanking technology does not mean leaving a large area of white, but creating a single visual effect by using colors with higher brightness. The application of blank space in design is to highlight the design theme, which can be text or graphics. This design method gives the audience a different visual experience.

In layout design, there is also a design method that highlights the theme, that is, the use of virtual and real. In layout design, the boundary of the shape can be blurred, which is the same as the large aperture made in photography, creating a blurred background, and the color can gradually fade or gray.

④ Order and variation. A successful layout can bring people visual comfort and is conducive to people's recognition and understanding. Therefore, the layout designer must pay attention to certain order and organization in the design. This effect can be created by using "variation", so the application of variation in design can achieve unexpected results. Layout design should show a certain degree of organization as a whole, and use variation techniques in a certain part of it, which is not bound by laws and has rich forms, such as frame method and the same color system method.

⑤ The unity of the whole. This design method is more common in multi-page design or series design, and is good at using the same characteristic elements in the design process and recombining them. For example, the application of the same graphic frame in decoration can make people have the same visual feeling and create the same composition form, which can be applied not only to the external decoration of graphics, but also to the combination of colors.

Layout design steps

Layout design is a formal language exploration activity, but it closely matches the characteristics of the content to be expressed. All the techniques are to convey the content elements clearly and vividly, and arrange them with pleasing organizations, so as to better highlight the theme and achieve the best appeal effect, instead of seeking content for form or form.

① Establish the theme. In graphic design pages, there are often a lot of visual design elements. In order to express the theme clearly, we must first determine the ideological content of the theme. If you want to highlight the theme, you can't design all the design elements on the same balance, or change the color or form to emphasize individuality.

② Classify similar elements. In design drawings, in order to clearly express intentions and accurately convey information, the explanations of pictures and words must be put together. In the design process, similar information should be consciously placed in the same area, and it is not easy to have too many different elements. Too much is a mess.

③ Skills of adding information. If a leaflet with too many visual elements is designed, the theme is established, and all kinds of information are arranged in different areas reasonably, and the important information content can also be prompted appropriately. For example, pictures can be cut into different shapes, and the prominent shapes around them can be bright colors. Words can be enlarged or changed to create different visual effects and enhance visual impact.

(4) Layout design should also be assisted by sketches. In layout design, don't ignore the role of sketches. Through sketches, designers can have more imagination, generate more inspiration and make the picture more innovative and energetic. Keep drawing and writing on the sketch. Any idea you can think of can be drawn on the sketch. For designers, no matter what kind of design, it is very beneficial to have such habits, so that they can constantly innovate in sketches and form their own design styles and characteristics.

⑤ Refine the design sketch. In the design sketch, we must eliminate some relatively poor ideas, choose the most suitable layout style, and further study the shortcomings and deficiencies in the picture to optimize the layout design scheme. In a word, layout design is to let visitors enjoy the aesthetic feeling while accepting the information that the author wants to convey. In the end, it is to make the layout clear and orderly, highlight the theme better with pleasing organizations, and achieve the best appeal effect.

Briefly describe the function and significance of illustration art in graphic design.

In many aspects of personal growth, many people have had the experience of writing papers and are familiar with them. Thesis is a means to discuss problems and conduct academic research. Do you know how to write a good paper? The following briefly introduces the role and significance of illustration art in graphic design, for reference only. Welcome to reading.

abstract:

Illustration, with a long history, is an art form that uses graphic language to convey information, and it is a picture to explain words more vividly. At present, illustrations play an important role in the fields of print media, electronic media and multimedia. Among them, the relationship between illustration and graphic design is getting closer and closer. Illustration infects the viewer with its unique artistic charm, allowing the viewer to experience the pleasure of artistic appreciation while reading information, resulting in visual resonance and cognition. Therefore, I think that in the contemporary art where pure art and design art blend with each other, illustration art has an indelible influence on the huge field of graphic design.

Key words:

Illustration art; Graphic design; Information; Convey; Decoration; sight

Illustration, with a long history, is an art form that uses graphic language to convey information, and it is a picture to explain words more vividly. Since ancient times, it has also played an important role in human social life. Especially at present, illustrations also play an important role in the fields of print media, electronic media and multimedia. Among them, the relationship between illustration and graphic design is getting closer and closer. In the field of graphic design, illustration infects viewers with its unique artistic charm, allowing viewers to experience the pleasure of artistic appreciation while reading information. This is why more and more colleges and universities classify illustrations as visual communication design, which is what we often call graphic design.

In my opinion, design is a creative behavior with people as the main body and people as the specific object. Its value lies in the innovation and exchange of ideas, thus achieving the social realization of human development. Literally, "setting" means imagination and creation; "Planning" means planning and arranging. The master of modern design, Monholi Naki, believes that art is an art that aims at producing a certain product and integrates social, human, economic, artistic, technical and psychological factors to produce products. In the final analysis, it is an idea and ideological intention formed by human consciousness and artistic creativity. As an important part of the most widely used design category, graphic design gives full play to the purpose of design: that is, the process of realizing the original intention of design with visual elements such as words and graphics through certain examination and selection. Among them, graphic language is the most direct and important element that can attract the viewer's visual attention and improve the viewer's visual resonance. More and more artists began to explore from the graphic language, the most intuitive element, so as to improve visual expression and visual expression effect. That is, the art of illustration mentioned earlier. At the same time, as far as illustration itself is concerned, information transmission is its main function and role, but if it has no aesthetic value and lacks artistic connotation and appeal, it will not achieve the purpose of effectively conveying information. But when it comes to aesthetic value, it will naturally return to visual beauty and jump back to the field of graphic design. Therefore, I think that in the contemporary art where the boundaries between pure art and design art are increasingly blurred, illustration art has an indelible influence on the huge field of graphic design.

1 Illustration-aided graphic design (layout) conveys information

Layout design is the center of the whole graphic design and the most widely used graphic design. Among them, the layout design with characters as the main body also accounts for the vast majority in the market. For example: newspapers, magazines, books, web pages, etc. , are all text-based layout design. In order to meet the needs of information dissemination, they take words as the main element and artistically treat the carrier of information dissemination, so that it can convey information vividly, vividly, accurately and vividly. But more often, some information cannot be conveyed by simple words, and it is difficult to express the content clearly in words. At this time, it is necessary to use some illustrations to assist the text information, or summarize the content of the text information into concise illustration elements, and concentrate the text information through artistic treatment of the elements, thus improving the accuracy and vividness of the whole information, making it easier for readers to understand and accept, and generating a strong sense of recognition and cognition; In addition, these illustrations can also guide readers to expand their association and imagination, so as to convey the content of the text more stereoscopically and comprehensively; Moreover, reading words for a long time will produce strong visual fatigue, and auxiliary illustrations can appropriately alleviate and adjust the reading rhythm of readers, so that the content conveyed by the information will be longer and firmer, and the effect will be more perfect and profound. For example: children's pictorial. Because children's literacy ability is limited, it is often difficult to convey information clearly in pure words. At this time, if there are no illustrations and auxiliary supplements, it is difficult for children to understand the content; In addition, as far as children's psychological and physiological characteristics are concerned, it is impossible for children to concentrate on reading for a long time, so illustration is an essential part in this case.

Illustrations help graphic design (posters) attract the audience's visual attention.

Poster design in graphic design, also known as "poster" design or poster design, belongs to outdoor advertising and is called "instant" street art abroad. Mainly in the form of posters to attract the viewer's visual attention. Here, "attracting visual attention" refers to attracting the attention of the viewer quickly with the strong stimulation of graphics, colors and other factors. Only when the viewer's eyes are attracted by strong stimuli and stay on the screen can "communication" occur. The task of poster design is to catch the eyes of consumers. However, the viewer's eyes always stay on specific patterns, not abstract geometric figures or creative figures. This truth is equivalent to that we can remember a person's facial features on the front and rarely recognize a person from the outline on the back. This is an instinctive acceptance and choice when our visual system receives information. This is also the reason why more and more poster designs combine illustration with plane. For example, the poster of Nordic Coca-Cola in the 20 10 World Cup combines Coca-Cola itself with illustrations, which not only fully conveys the author's creative intention, but also greatly attracts the audience's attention through the elements of character illustrations; Another example is the poster illustration of Coca-Cola Sambodromo. In the form of illustration, the whole poster stands out among many traditional plane posters and firmly grasps the viewer's vision.

3 illustration enhances the decorative and beautification effect of graphic design (packaging)

As the most direct visual design in graphic design, packaging design directly affects consumers' desire to buy. Good packaging design can even enhance the value of products and the positioning of consumer groups. As the packaging design itself, it takes the outer packaging of the product as the carrier to achieve the role of decoration and beautification. The expression of illustration art itself has the function of decorating and beautifying the carrier. Not only can it be inserted into the format and poster plane media mentioned above, but it can also be applied to three-dimensional design fields such as product design. Therefore, if there is no illustration element, it is difficult to make the product packaging produce visual beauty. For example, MountainDew, the best-selling carbonated beverage in the United States, launched a series of limited-edition carbonated drinking water packaging designs, with illustrations as the main packaging design elements, which added a touch of bright color to the original plain bottle body, played a good role in decoration and beautification, and enhanced the visual appeal of the products. Consumers can experience unique visual beauty from exquisite illustrations. This makes the whole packaging design dynamic, fashionable and smart, and at the same time, it also brings the product closer to the young consumers.

Illustrations add artistic emotion to the graphic design of the table.

As an independent discipline, illustration combines the artistic connotation of pure art and design. However, as far as artistic effect and function are concerned, the artistic value of illustration is still manifested in artistic appreciation, which conveys an artistic emotion and emphasizes the creative process. While graphic design focuses on the purpose. It must be designed according to the conveyed theme and the information it carries, emphasizing the design results. At present, the boundary between pure art and design is increasingly blurred. Modern art that advocates the combination of the two. That is, illustration is attached to graphic design (layout, poster, packaging, etc.) as a carrier. ) you can also make graphic design an illustration. Let graphic design not only convey information purposefully, but also become a work of art for viewers to appreciate, and at the same time give graphic design the artistic feeling conveyed by illustrations.

In short, in today's blending of pure art and design, the emotional expression of pure art and the information transmission of design influence each other and achieve mastery through a comprehensive study. Therefore, generate creates innovative and endless artistic forms and experiences. Among them, as far as the huge graphic design in the design field is concerned, the influence, function and function of illustration art can not be ignored or obliterated.

Thesis defense skills

General procedure of thesis defense

Students must submit their graduation thesis, together with the outline and draft, to the defense committee after being approved and signed by the instructor.

At the defense meeting, let students spend about 15 minutes to summarize the topic and the reasons for choosing the topic, and introduce the main arguments, arguments and writing experience of the paper in detail.

Answer the teacher's question. After the teacher asks questions, some schools stipulate that students can prepare for 15-20 minutes independently, and then answer on the spot, while others require students to answer immediately on the spot (there is no preparation time).

After the students answered all the questions one by one, they left. According to the quality of the paper and the defense situation, the defense Committee collectively decides whether to pass or not, and draws up scores and comments.

When the students are recalled, the main defense teacher will summarize the situation in the process of thesis and defense for the students.

For students who fail to pass the defense, suggestions for revision are put forward, and students are generally allowed to reply separately.

Thesis defense skills

Familiar with the content

Students who take part in thesis defense must first have a deeper understanding of the content of their graduation thesis. This is a preparation for answering questions that members of the thesis defense Committee may ask about the depth and related knowledge of the thesis.

Chart episode

Charts are not only an intuitive way to express opinions, but also a means to adjust the atmosphere of the thesis defense meeting. Especially for the members of the thesis defense committee, listening for a long time will inevitably be rejected, and they will no longer accept and absorb what you have discussed, which will inevitably affect your graduation thesis defense performance. Therefore, you should properly insert charts or other media similar to charts in the process of thesis defense to improve your thesis defense performance.

Speak at a medium speed

Students who defend their graduation thesis are usually the first time. Numerous facts have proved that they often speak faster and faster when defending their thesis, so that the members of the graduation defense Committee can't hear clearly, which affects the speech speed in the process of graduation defense. They should be urgent and slow, light and heavy, and can't bombard the audience like a barrage.

eye movement

When a graduate defends a thesis, he can generally leave the manuscript, leave it half-time, or leave it at all. But in either way, we should pay attention to our eyes so that the target can often glance at the members of the thesis defense Committee and the students attending the meeting. This is a way for you to make eye contact with your audience and make them interested in your topic.

time control

Generally speaking, in a more formal thesis defense meeting, there is a requirement for the defense time of the debater. Therefore, students who defend their graduation thesis should pay attention to the mastery of the time of thesis defense. The time control of thesis defense should be strong, and the deadline will end immediately. This seems to be well prepared, and I am familiar with the mastery and control of the content, which is easy to leave a good impression on the members of the graduation thesis defense Committee.

etiquette

In the process of defense, in addition to the above points, this one also needs attention. Although it has little effect, it can leave a good impression on the defense teacher. Generally speaking, the defense teacher chooses you when you are evenly matched with others.

Common problems in thesis defense

1. Why did you choose this topic?

2. What is the significance and purpose of studying this topic?

3. How is the basic framework and structure of the full text arranged?

4. What is the logical relationship between the parts of the full text?

In the process of studying this topic, I found those different viewpoints. How did I get to know them step by step? How to deal with it?

6. Although it is not mentioned in the paper, what other issues are closely related to it?

7. What other questions have not been clarified by yourself and not discussed in depth in the paper?

8. What is the main basis for making an argument when writing a paper?

According to my experience, I stipulate that students should set the height of each horizontal row or the grid width in the vertical direction to 1CM). Don't be afraid if the handwriting is not very good. The key is to write neatly. There is a saying that ugliness together is beauty. In addition, typos are not allowed in articles or titles.
