Visualizing Design


This design I found on the internet is a good use of visualizing digital design. It is made in Photoshop and it is a representation of good digital design because it uses elements such as harmony, movement, balance, and visual hierarchy. Harmony is represented in this design because there is repetition in the piano stairs. There is also an implied motion because everything leads up to the couple dancing and then to the moon. The flow of motion in the piano, the guitar, the girl playing the piano, the tree, and the birds in the sky, all lead your eye up to the couple and the moon. There is also asymmetrical balance because the guitar and the girl playing the piano, as well as the tree all balance each other out. Visual hierarchy is also represented because the most important elements are at the top and the complimentary elements are placed at the bottom to balance it out. This image was created to give off a certain feeling of serenity and serenading. The balance of softness, imagery, and abstractness all flow together to create this feeling. This image sells what it is trying to say because it is very clear and gives off a sense of emotions. A good representation of digital or any design is supposed to create some sort of feeling to the viewer. It is either suppose to make them feel, think, understand, or imagine something. As a design student it is important for me to remember that the feeling I am trying to create in a design has to come across in the design itself.
