The 5 Fundamental Graphic Design Principles You Should Know

If you’re planning on entering the graphic design field, or even if you want to create better designs for your projects, then you need to know the basics. These five graphic design principles are essential for any designer, no matter their level of experience.

1.) Communication

Graphic design is all about communication. That’s why the first principle is to always keep your audience in mind. Who are you designing for? What are you trying to communicate? Answering these questions will help you make better choices about your design, from the colors you use to the overall layout.

2.) Hierarchy

The second principle is to create a hierarchy in your design. This means using different font sizes, colors, and elements to make certain parts of your design stand out. Creating a hierarchy will help you guide your audience’s eye to the most important information.

3.) Contrast

The third principle is to use contrast. This can be contrast in color, size, or even typefaces. Contrast will help your design elements stand out and be more readable.

4.) Alignment

The fourth principle is to align your elements. This creates a cleaner, more organized design. Everything in your design should have a purposeful placement.

5.) Repetition

The fifth and final principle is to use repetition. This doesn’t mean that you should use the same element repeatedly, but it does mean that you should use similar elements throughout your design. Repetition will create a sense of unity in your design. Now that you know the five basic principles of graphic design, you can start creating better, more purposeful designs. Keep these principles in mind as you work, and you’ll be on your way to becoming a great designer.

Detroit-Tigers-Season-Update
 “We’ve dealt with a lot of issues, and this another we’ll deal with. We’ve got some guys that will have to step up. … Our goal at this time is to try to handle it internally. At this time of year, you’ve always got your ears out to other places. But we feel comfortable.”

 

This a quote given by general manager of the Detroit Tigers, Dave Dombrowski.

It was disclosed that Bruce Rondon will be needing ulnar collateral ligament surgery for his elbow. He will be out for the year, but should be good for the 2015 season. Also, Jose Iglesias, the Tiger’s primary shortstop for 2014, was reported to have bilateral tibial stress fractures, and is recovering after being put on the disabled list. Finally, Andy Dirks is recovering from back surgery that he had on March 10th. He was said to have been out of the game for two months, but he should be brought back soon. As of now he is on the 15 days disabled list.

On the flip side, Miguel Cabrera recently had his contract with the Tigers extended, with $248 million guaranteed over the next eight years. His contract was supposed to terminate in 2015, but he revived it, and made what is being called the biggest commitment in baseball history.  The deal was negotiated by sports agents Fern Cuza and Diego Bentz. The Tigers allegedly traded Prince Fielder during the winter of 2013 in order to help pay for Miggy’s contract extension, as well to attempt Max Scherzer’s contract. Scherzer was offered $144 million over a time span of six years, but it turned out unsuccessful.

The Tigers have gone through a few bumps in the road, but have a positive mindset for this season, and are ready to play hard this season. Catch them playing the San Diego Padres tonight at 10:10p.m. on Fox Sports Detroit.
