 WEEK 1: GRAPHIC DESIGN

Graphic design is about much more than creating images that are nice to look at. It’s a form of visual
communication that provides information, shares ideas, and persuades the audience to consider new perspectives.

Designers can use their skills to boost sales in a marketing campaign, create a lovable cartoon character or pioneer
a functional product that solves a problem. These creative professionals use their design skills to connect with
others through their visual work.

Graphic design has been around for thousands of years— the Interaction Design Foundation puts the field’s
beginnings to cave paintings that predate Egyptian hieroglyphics! In more recent times, the term “graphic design”
was coined in the 1920s by the print industry to describe basic design elements like typography, logo creation,
and color theory.

Graphic designers have been marrying their design skills with technology ever since the invention of popular
design programs like Adobe’s Photoshop® and Illustrator® in 1987. This evolution toward new technology
means that today’s graphic designers have more tools than ever at their fingertips. Designers who stay on top
of changes in design software can find themselves in a good place to continue expanding their careers, no matter
which type of graphic design they pursue.
 WEEK-2: TYPES OF GRAPHIC DESIGN

These are some of the types of graphic design you’re likely to hear about as you explore this field—but you’ll
also notice that these job descriptions have some overlap. Like many professionals, graphic designers can use

Product designers use their creative prowess to research, design, and develop new products. The types of
products they create depend on which industry they work in, but it could Product include everything from toys

of their designs before they’re sent into production.

illustrations and prototypes.

2. Branding Design
Branding is a type of corporate design that focuses on the visual identity of a company or product. These
designers must be in tune with the marketing message a brand wants to send, as well as the target audience they
wish to reach. Every aspect of branding design must align with these goals, as well as fit into the larger aesthetic

WEEK 3: PHOTOSHOP BASICS

I will be going over the Basic Tools you will need to know to get started on Photoshop.
Move Tool:
This tool can be used to move items around.
Marquee Tool:
This tool can be used to make selections. There are four different types which are:

Rectangular - This will make a Rectangular selection

Elliptical - This will make an Elliptical selection
Single Column - This will make a Column selection
Single Row - This will make a Row selection

Lasso:
This tool can also be used to make selections. There are three different types which are:

Lasso - This can make a freehand selection

Polygonal Lasso - This will make the selection with lines
Magnetic Lasso - This will make a selection by shaping onto objects

Quick Selection:
This tool can be used to make a selection of objects by painting them with an adjustable brush.

Crop:
This tool can be used to trim images.

Eraser:

This tool can be used to erase the pixels of an image.

Brush Tool:

Paints a brush stroke.

Pencil Tool:

Paints are hard-edge strokes.

Pen:

This tool can be used to create smooth-edged paths. You can use the Freeform Pen to create paths freehanded.

Type Tool:

This tool creates a text box that can be used to type text into.
Shape Tools:

These tools can be used to create shapes. There are six different types of shape tools which are:

1. Rectangle
2. Rounded Rectangle
3. Ellipse
4. Polygon
5. Line
6. Custom Shape

Hand:

This tool can be used to move an image within the window.

Zoom:
Zoom in and out.

Layers, Groups and Guides

Layers are what they say there are, Layers. Layers are very useful in Photoshop. Each layer is an individual, so
you can edit it without editing any other layers.

Create New Layer. To create a new layer, go into 'Layer > New > Layer' or click the box with a folded corner
at the bottom right-hand corner of the window.

Locking Layers. Layers can be locked which means that they can't be edited until you unlock them. There are
three different types of Locks.

• LockTransparentPixels - This will make the pixels you erase black instead of getting rid of them.

• Lock Image Pixels - This will mean you can't change the pixels into anything such as coloring them in.

• Lock Position - This will mean you are not able to move the image.

• The last one will lock everything which means you will not be able to edit it at all.
Hiding Layer. The layer can be hidden by pressing the 'Eye' icon next to the layer. Click it again and the layer
will be visible again.

Layer Style. These are some settings that can be changed to make the layer look different. To open the layer-
style window, double-click the layer that will open a new one. Some things you can do are:

• Opacity - Change the opacity of the layer.

• Stroke - Put an outline on the layer.

• Inner Shadow - Puts a shadow inside the layer which gives it the effect of it going inside.

• Inner Glow - Put a glow on the inside.

• Color Overlay - Put a color on top of the layer.

• Gradient Overlay - Put a gradient on top of the layer.

• Pattern Overlay - Put a pattern on top of the layer.

• Outer Glow - Put a glow outside the layer.

• Drop Shadow - Put a shadow underneath the layer which gives the effect of it floating.

 WEEK-5&6: PROJECT WORK

 In week 5 and 6, they have given a project work regarding design certificates.
 CONCLUSION
I have a learn lot from “THE WEB BLINDERS”.

Graphic design is useful in our civil engineering department in interior design.

Graphic is Used to Visualize Architectural Concepts.

Graphic design visually communicates & reinforces the sense of identify for
architectural projects, including new design, renovation, & planning projects.
Brilliant architectural concepts don’t come to fruition for lack of proper
