Also called layout, it is the composition of text and images, and even audio or video if it is done with multimedia features. Programs such as InDesign are used , where master pages are created, so that the same basic composition can be used on all or several pages of the same document.
Animation
It is a resource that is increasingly used in graphic design , both for the creation of animated gifs, as well as presentations, credits or small animations for web pages. There are 2D animation programs such as Animate CC, or 3D animation programs such as 3ds Max or Blender.
Graphic programs
Let's start by learning a little more about the different programs. All graphic programs are based on analogue work , that is, they base their interfaces on traditional solutions. For example, they are provided with tools that can be knives, brushes, pencils, paint cans, as if we were working on a real table with real materials. They work with layers like the layers of paint that a painter actually uses in front of a painting that is initially white. And they superimpose colours, planes and details, one on top of the other.
Photoshop
It has an intuitive interface where you can improve the images, whether it is lighting, color, brightness, to give them greater realism, or on the contrary create creative effects. Without a doubt, the work of selecting images, cropping and composition is laborious. In other words, it takes practice and knowledge to be able to make sweden phone data realistic photomontages, without the intervention being appreciated. But with a precise methodology it can be achieved. Fashion photographers are the ones who suffer the most from the most complex editions. For graphic design work it is very useful to be able to improve the quality of the images and create compositions appropriate to each project. Another use of the Photoshop program is to be able to use the graphic tablet and paint and draw as if it were a painting. The easel is replaced by the computer, the canvas by the tablet, real brushes by virtual ones, having numerous sizes and thicknesses of stroke, and oil or acrylic by pixels.
Illustrator
It is very effective for vector illustrations. It has a work table, a blank space on which to work, so that you can add as many tables as necessary. It is very useful for drawing raster logos already created that we need to enlarge in size without affecting the resolution. In the following video you can see the difference between raster and vector. With Illustrator you can also create logos from scratch, composing different concepts, interweaving them into a single image that makes aesthetic and conceptual sense. To do this, you need to create freehand sketches and then draw them; you can use the graphic tablet for this, and even use it as a mouse.
