Emtech - LESSON 6: Imaging and Design for Online Environment Flashcards
encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they are digital photographs,
traditional photo chemical photographs, or illustrations. Traditional analog image editing is known as photo
retouching, using tools such as an airbrush to modify photographs, or editing illustrations with any traditional
art medium
PHOTO EDITING
can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster graphics editors, and 3D modelers are the
primary tools with which a user may manipulate, enhance, and transform images. Many image editing
programs are also used to render or create computer art from scratch
Graphic software programs
BASIC OF IMAGE EDITING
RASTER IMAGES and VECTOR IMAGES
are stored in a computer in the form of a grid of picture elements or pixels.
RASTER IMAGES
such as Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape and etc. are used to create and modify ___________,
which are stored as descriptions of lines, Bezier curves and text instead of pixels
VECTOR IMAGES
is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by a digital
photography.
JPEG
is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression.
PNG (PORTABLE NETWORK GRAPHICS)
a lossless format for image files that supports both animated and static images.
GIF
is a raster graphics image used to store bitmap digital images
BMP
used in vector-based images in Adobe Illustrator.
EPS
is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics w/ support for interactivity and animation
SVG
is one of the file formats used by the Autodesk ___ Max 3D Modelling, animation and rendering software.
3ds
is an exchange format, in particular for interoperability between Autodesk products and other digital content creation
software
.fbx
One of the prerequisites for many of the app mentioned below is a method of selecting part(s) of an image, thus
applying a change selectively without affecting the entire picture
SELECTION
L for selecting rectangular or other regular polygon-shaped regions
MARQUEE TOOL
for freehand selection of a region
LASSO TOOL
selects objects or regions in the image defined by proximity of color or luminance
MAGIC WAND TOOL
which are analogous to sheets of transparent acetate, stacked on top of each other, each capable of being individually
positioned, altered and blended with the layers below, w/o affecting any of the elements on the other layers.
LAYERS
resize images in a process often called image scaling, making them larger, or smaller. High image resolution
cameras can produce large images which are often reduced in size for Internet use.
IMAGE SIZE
G creates a new image by selecting a desired rectangular portion from the image being cropped. The unwanted part of
the image is discarded. Image cropping does not reduce the resolution of the area cropped.
CROPPING
uses the current brush to copy from an image or pattern. It has many uses: one of the most important is to repair
problem areas in digital photos.
CLONING
– Image editors are capable of altering an image to be rotated in any direction and to any degree. Mirror
images can be created and images can be horizontally flipped or vertically flopped. Rotated image usually require cropping
afterwards, in order to remove the resulting gaps at the image edges.
IMAGE ORIENTATION
is the art of drawing solid objects on a two- dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their
height, width, depth and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point.
PERSPECTIVE
______ makes images clearer. Too much _______ causes grains on the surface of the image.
_______ makes images softer that removes some of the highly visible flaws. Too much causes the image to blur.
SHARPENING AND SOFTENING
is an expression for the relative bandwidth of the visible output from a light source. As _______ increase, colors appear more “pure” As _______ decreases, colors appear more ʻʼ washed-out”
SATURATION
involves transforming or altering a photograph using various methods and techniques to achieve desired
results. Some __________ are considered skillful artwork while others are frowned upon as unethical practices, especially when used to deceive the public, such as hat used for political propaganda , or to make a product or person look
better.
PHOTO MANIPULATION
also known as data visualization, information design, and communication design
It is any graphic that display and explains information, whether that be data or words. When we use the term
‘’infographics’’, we’re using it as a general term used to describe data presented in a visual way. Infographics are important because they change the way people find and experience stories. Infographics are
being used to augment editorial content on the web, it create a new way of seeing the world of data, and they
help communicate complex ideas in a clear and beautiful way.
Infographics
TYPES OF INFOGRAPHICS
- Statistical
- Process Flow
- Geographic
BEST PRACTICES WHEN CREATING INFOGRAPHICS
- a)Maintain a structure
- b)Don’t use more than 3 color palletes
- c)Typography matters a lot
- d)Include source and references
