File Formats

 These all represent the different preset files you can use in photoshop, as you can see they make a huge
 difference between them. The nicest file to save with for this picture is png-24, the worst is
 gif restricted. The image that has the smallest file size is jpeg-low, the image with the largest file size is
 png-24.

Helvetica

         The font type Helvetica was created in Münchenstein, Switzerland in 1957.Its original name was Die Neue Haas Grotesk, but that didn't sound right so they decided to go with Helvetica. It popularized the style that is known as Swiss.The Swiss Style of Graphic Design, as its name itself implies was developed in Switzerland during the 1950’s and became popular worldwide because of its precision, clarity and readability. 
       Another styles that were mentioned in the movie is Modernism. Despite its name, the “Modern” Typeface, also known as Didone, is not new. In the eighteenth century improvements in paper quality combined with more advanced printing methods brought about changes in how typefaces were created.
        Last style talked about in the movie was Post-Modern.Much like saying ‘display’, postmodern is another catch-all category, encompassing a wide variety of styles. Many, indeed, fall into display, as they are unsuitable for text.

        Some designers mentioned in the movie were:
  • Rick Poynor
  • Wim Crouwell
  • Matthew Carter
  • Alfred Hoffman
        Helvetica can be found all around us, basically everywhere. It is one of, if not the most used font today.

Colors

The three primary colors are Red, Green, and Blue. Secondary colors are created by mixing primary colors. Tertiary colors are created by mixing secondary colors. subtractive color wheel, the center is usually (but not always) black (sometimes this is represented as brown), representing all colors of light being absorbed; in an additive color circle, on the other hand, the center is white or gray, indicating a mixture of different wavelengths of light. Color can affect our perception, if something is darker then we perceive it as being closer. Whereas if it was lighter we would perceive that is was closer. Colors can also affect each other, if you add white to a color you are decreasing the tint of the color. If you ad black to a color you are decreasing the shade of the color. Lastly if you add grey to a color then you decrease the tone. A greyscale image has a lot of different shades of grey:










Monotone pictures have the same colors with different shades

This Jersey is a good example of complementary colors with the purple and yellow.
