GRAPHIC DESIGNS STANDARDSWritten by BLUR LOTERIÑA
Do you find it hard to create your own graphic design? Before you can come up with a good graphic design you must first understand basic principles in creating design, as well as factors it must contain.Design is defined as a plan or pattern formed for purpose of making or doing something. It explains how things are done or how to come up with something. A design must have a purpose, or else it will be useless. It must contain enough information. You can use visual languages, such as chart, table or graph, for it to become more understandable. It should also explain details. Start from general idea, then, give specific details. Make sure that each detail is related to main idea. There are many types of design, such as a graphic design. A graphic design results from features of lines, colors, shape, materials or texture. What makes a graphic design attractive and lively is color. Here, you can apply color theory. Every color has its own characteristics, such as visible spectrum, dimension, inherent and emotive qualities. The primary colors are red, blue and green. If you mix these colors, new hues are created. You can either have lighter or darker colors or contrasting colors. Take white color for example—it is opposite of black. Any color can appear lighter or darker depending on field it is on. For example, when you put pink beside green, pink is lighter color. But when you put pink beside white, pink will look darker.

Buena Software introduces another plug-in for after effect, Au Naturel. Au Naturel is a set of seven built-in effects. Effects include adjust exposure effect, levels effect, Gaussian Blur effect, Directional Blur effect, transform effect, composite effect and time lapse effect.Au Naturel’s Gaussian blur is better than that of discreet Combustion’s built in Gaussian blur because it works in 32 bit floating point linear RGB color space. Meaning result is more natural. The blur effect can be applied with either a single or all of channels. If you want to constrain blur to a particular angle use Directional Blur effect. With this effect, changing frame edges is not a problem. You can even imitate edge pixel. The adjust exposure effect is basically regulating of f-stop of footage. F-stop is opening of lens. If you are holding a camera, you need to adjust opening of lens to capture dark or bright scenes. The same with images in computers, you can adjust scene of an image. For a better result in changing scenes, highlight should be brighter and shadow should be darker. Au Naturel gives you this kind of result without affecting quality of image. The Levels effect is just applications levels control. The only difference is that in Au Naturel you are allowed to use values beyond minimum and maximum pixel value range. In other words, you can set levels without limitations. These values can also be preserved.
