Visual Communication Design Terminology

TL;DR — A 15-page illustrated glossary of design elements and principles (point, line, shape, form, contrast, hierarchy) with examples of each.

Each term has a definition and examples of where it is used: point, for example, covers halftone printing, pixelation and map markers. The copy is from a student’s design blog; the original author is not named.

What it is: a teaching glossary. Useful as a quick reference for design vocabulary.
