The Essential Visual Elements of Graphic Design



If graphic design is visual communication, then the visual elements are the ingredients we use to create that communication.

The ‘Graphic’ part of Graphic Design is made up of ‘visual elements’, the building blocks of design, the components that every design is made from, no matter how complex or minimal.

Shape, Form, Space, Colour, Texture, Typography and Photography

These are the basic visual elements that combine to create Graphic Design

Whatever work you produce, be it for a magazine, a poster, a website or an advertisement, these visual elements will play a part in your design.

In this video, I give a quick overview of all the graphic design visual elements you should be aware of.

Let’s Get Into It!
