Taking cues from street signs and other simple graphic systems
that rely on basic shapes, designers are working with silhouette-like patterns
and stark black-and-white palettes, playing with positive and negative space
with striking consequences. This very basic elements are not only forms the
basis of learning to draw; they are also the solid foundation of the most
incredible prints, patterns and sequences used by a vast number of artists and
designers in a wide variety of design fields worldwide.
These signs also assist in the communicating with the public; the
simpler it is the easier it is to understand. The size of in which these signs
are presented in matter as a results of visibility (how visible they are for
the public to recognize immediately). Whether is to inform, instruct or
announce the sign as a significant tool of the public it should always have an
effect.
Icons are an effective aid in helping users quickly find and
gather information. They not only communicate information but help break it up
and add visual interest to grab the users' attention in all the simple aspects.
With thousands of icons available, with endless gradients, geometric shapes,
colors and reflections, it can be overwhelming as to what will best suit your
minimalist design. Yet geometric shapes can present the simplest icons with
just a small amount of gradient that’s easy on the eye however easy to detect.
Symbols for us in the design world, is usually a combination
of graphic elements that represent something to us and the public, in other
words a picture that tells a story. Symbols can be Logos (visual images
of brands and companies). The association people make via the symbols is
crucial in how they eventually classify their brands and thus, chose to
interact or not interact with the brands out there, it is of great significant
to represent a brand in a appealing manner, a manner in
which your symbolic image bring about trust to your brand.

ReplyDeletewould you say learning to draw for adults or children? cause i dont think it can be adults as they are very skilled already in art or graphics, and not children parse cause they wouldn't know what or fully understand what it is they are creating, stick man crossing but they would never represent them in that manner.
