Visual design is not about what a piece is saying literally through words, but it is everything about what a piece is saying visually and emotionally--solely through appearance.
Some basic visual design concepts include color, contrast, typography, composition, line, texture, space and shape. Color and use of white space often evoke a certain mood. Lines guide viewers through a composition. Typography---the use of type as a design element---can add visual interest.
Some elements of User Interface
- A background that reflects the theme
- Foreground elements that reflect the theme.
- Other elements that support the theme.
- Each composition uses different concepts. The intended audience for a piece can mold its visual design. A piece primarily for the elderly might place more emphasis on type size (typography) and contrast, while a piece geared toward children may make use of vivid colors and textures.Interface familyElements in an interface family must work both as a group and as independent piecesUnityFocus on meta-style and not just individual styles.
