Homework #6 ?

In graphic design, there are classified must-know rules for success within a design.  These rules were established to help with visual and emotional appeal to an audience.  When creating an image, it is key to remember font consistency in a design, what colors not to mix, common sense, what is supposed to stand out in the image, and even making sure that the designer is using the appropriate combinations of colors/characters/symbols for his or her target audience.  Quality is another important factor to consider, which includes vectors versus pixels and ensuring that no parts of the image are stretched out of proportion. Using guide tools (such as a grid) makes a significant difference in instilling the proper alignment of an image.  All of these design tactics are very important to consider, but I personally believe that the most significant tactic is design originality.  Consider the designs of others, reflect certain styles in your own work, but be a leader; not a follower.
