Process of visual Development

1- elements, (BEFORE STARTING)gathering or producing the visuals elements (pictures & texts, videoe/audio clips)Based on your goals & objectives and students’ needs and level

Process of visual design

2- pattern,choose the overall “look” or the general design of your presentation. Decide how the viewer’s eye will flow across your display

3- arrangement,

arrange the items within the pattern.

Add Appeal

1- surprise2- texture3- interaction

elements that add appeal

1- surprise, people pay attention as long as they are getting novel

stimuli or new information. They tune out when the message becomes monotonous

2- texture,

you can add a third dimension to your visuals by using

texture or actual materials,

e.g., samples of cereal grains , leaves, or insects

3-interaction,

viewers can be asked to respond to visual displays

1. Carries impulses around the body to deliver messages. 2. They swim to fertilize the egg. 3. To trap dust particles and germs in the air passages. 4. They increase the surface area for absorbing water. 5. They contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis. 6. They carry oxygen around the body to all the cells.

The major factors that affect the overall look are 1. alignment of elements, 2. shape, 3. balance, 4. style, 5. color scheme, 6. and color appeal.

overall look

alignment of elements

Visual Elements should be aligned on the same imaginary horizontal or vertical line

Shape,

Another way to arrange the visual and verbal elements is to put them into a shape that is already familiar to the viewer

(e.g., circle, triangle, rectangle, the letters Z, L, T, and U)

Balance

The weight of the elements in a display should equally distributed on each side of an axis, either horizontally or vertically or both.

In some cases in order to catch the eyes you may use asymmetrical or informal balance.

Avoid imbalance because it tends to be Jarring

Style

Your choice of lettering and type of pictures should be consistent with each other and with the preferences of the audience

Students, artists, religious groups,

Color scheme,

Consider the harmoniousness of the colors. Pleasant color harmony vs clashing colors

Any two colors that lie directly opposite each other on the color

wheel are called

complementary colors

Could be used as the text and background colors.

Analogous colors

(next to each other) may also from pleasing

combinations when used together in a display.

Color appeal

Blue, green, and violet are considered cool colorsWhereas red and orange are considered warm colors.

Warm colors are associated with action, dynamic, and warm feeling

And cool colors are associated with contemplative, thoughtful, cool feeling

Also warm colors appear to approach the viewer while cool colors tend to recede.

Children seem to prefer warm colors (particularly, red, pink, yellow, and orange, brighter

colors and combinations of intense colors)

ArrangementRules

Arrangement

1- Proximity 2. Directionals,

3- Figure and ground, 4- Consistency

1- proximity, viewers assume that elements close to each

other are related

2. directionals, You can use arrows to direct the viewer’s attention

3- figure and ground,

important elements, especially wording, should stand out in good contrast to the background.

The simple rule of figure and ground is that dark figures show up best in on light ground and light figures show up best on dark

grounds.

A Soyuz booster equipped with a Fregat accelerator unit placed a mock-up Cluster II satellite into orbit after blasting off from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Monday night.

4- Consistency,every time the arrangement breaks the rules,

viewers have to expend mental energy deciding whether this is

a deliberate exception or whether they need to revise the rule

A color repeated in different parts of

a display tends to show a relationship between those parts.

e.g.,,Titles, Notes, Links, Exercises, Icons,
