Document Summary

The equations define the lines, curves, and shapes used within the graphic and their colors. Unless specified otherwise, the words graphics and image will refer to raster forms of each. Design principles and considerations: several common principles are described in this section that should be considered when designing a poster, banner, or any other graphic. This list is not nearly exhaustive but provides a foundation of design principles. Red and blue creates purple, red and yellow produces orange, and blue and yellow combine to make green: additional combinations are made between certain secondary colors to create tertiary colors. The remaining colors in the scheme are the tints and shades of the base hue: for example, a blue hue would be accompanied by darker shades of blue and lighter tints of blue. For this reason, serif fonts are encouraged for paragraphs. The feel of the font should match the overall theme of the graphic.
