Photoshop and Fonts



Advanced concepts of design

- Things to consider when creating, manipulating or viewing an image/design:

Aesthetic Quality – how beautiful or sublime an image’s elements and composition are

Composition – the flow and readability of an image

Image Content – the individual visual elements that make up the image

Image Context – an images context is understood by looking at the visual elements that make up the images content and considering the Historical and Cultural understanding those elements represent in the society and across generations.

Context of technology in comparison to the photographic and print media's image's qualities

The first photographs created were shot on glass plates with a slow film speed that produced Black and White images. As time progressed so did the technology to capture images. This has led to a link between image technology and time in our visual cultural understanding. In photo theory photography is linked with the ideas of memory and time, the capturing of a moment to retain a visual perspective of time. This happens not only from the capturing of the image on film but also through the use of aesthetic related to each generation of technology.

An example: A Black & White or Sepia toned Photograph

-Images from the experienced past, remembers photographs as special objects, images of immediate family and friends from the past, most dead
