[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Graphic design is a skilled profession, but it\u2019s also basically an entire world with a language all its own. And if you don\u2019t arrive with a solid familiarity with some basic design terms, you might just find yourself wishing you had a translator on hand.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever been confused by graphic design terminology, this vocabulary guide is the resource you need to cut through the jargon. We\u2019ve assembled 120 terms, essentially covering the ABCs of graphic design \u2013 it\u2019s the graphic design vocabulary handbook you\u2019ll come back to time and time again.<\/p>\n

120 Graphic Design Terms to Know Now<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_tta_tabs alignment=”center” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”A – B” tab_id=”1643217201458-177fa0b8-0b79″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\"all<\/h3>\n

Alignment<\/h3>\n

Alignment describes the way that various design elements are arranged in a page or document. For example, you\u2019ve probably heard of center, right, and left alignment. If you\u2019re talking typography, alignment (also called \u201crange\u201d) refers to the setting of the text in relation to a page, column, or tab.<\/p>\n

Analogous colors<\/h3>\n

Analogous colors sit directly next to each other on the color wheel, such as red, orange, and yellow. In this trio of analogous colors, there is a dominant color, a primary\/secondary color, and a tertiary color, and they all come together harmoniously for an effective design.<\/p>\n

Aperture<\/h3>\n

Aperture is the white space located at the end of an open counter, specifically in typography.<\/p>\n

Apex<\/h3>\n

The apex is the top\/highest point at which two strokes are connected, specifically in typography.<\/p>\n

Arm<\/h3>\n

An arm is a horizontal stroke that isn\u2019t attached to a stem on one of its ends.<\/p>\n

Ascenders<\/h3>\n

Ascenders are the portions of lowercase letters that reach above a typeface\u2019s x-height. This will vary depending on the specific typeface, with some fonts\u2019 ascenders extending above cap height. Most typefaces count the letters b, d, f, h, k, and l as ascenders.<\/p>\n

Aspect ratio<\/h3>\n

Think of aspect ratio as the ratio of the width of a rectangle to its height. When discussing design, the rectangle in question is usually a screen or picture. You\u2019ll typically see aspect ratio expressed numerically, with two numbers separated by a colon (width:height). For example, a computer screen may have an aspect ratio of 16:9, measuring 16 inches wide by 9 inches high.<\/p>\n

Backslanted<\/h3>\n

Italicized font leaning in a backward direction.<\/p>\n

Ball terminal<\/h3>\n

The ball-shaped extension of a letter.<\/p>\n

Baseline<\/h3>\n

The invisible line that text sits on top of, almost like a \u201cfloor\u201d for text. The baseline is where the x-height and other key characteristics are measured from.<\/p>\n

Bleed<\/h3>\n

Bleed is a term specific to printing. It is the extra edge (of the artwork or background color\/pattern) that will be trimmed off. Essentially, the bleed is used to avoid any unexpected white space or borders and prevent any key design elements from being trimmed off.<\/p>\n

Body copy<\/h3>\n

Body copy is the main portion of text that people will be reading within a design. For both print and digital publications, this is the paragraphs\/sentences that make up the main content, not counting titles, subtitles, author\/illustrator names, etc.<\/p>\n

Bold<\/h3>\n

Bold is a typeface\u2019s heavyweight, commonly used to emphasize specific text.<\/p>\n

Bowl<\/h3>\n

Bowls are the primarily round\/elliptical forms that make up the basic shape of letters such as uppercase C, G, and O and lowercase b, c, e, o, and p.<\/p>\n

Bracket<\/h3>\n

A bracket is the curved connection that links the serif and stem of some fonts (not every font has bracketed serifs).<\/p>\n

Brand identity<\/h3>\n

Brand identity is a comprehensive concept that includes everything that contributes to a brand\u2019s visual version: slogans, logos, color palettes, typefaces, tone, packaging, website design, and all marketing materials. It is both the \u201clook\u201d and \u201cfeel\u201d of a brand and should be a carefully developed aspect of any business. Developing a brand identity is a process known as \u201cbranding.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”C – D” tab_id=”1643217201467-4afb8aca-cdbc”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Calligraphy<\/h3>\n

An artistic approach to writing that utilizes specialized tools such as a brush pen. There are also many calligraphy-style fonts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cap height<\/h3>\n

Cap height is the measurement from the top of a capital letter to the baseline. This term is used in relation to flat-top letters, such as H or J. However, rounded or pointed uppercase letters (O, A, etc.) can extend above the cap height.<\/span><\/p>\n

Center-aligned<\/h3>\n

Center alignment places text or visual elements directly at the center of the page or screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

CMYK<\/h3>\n

CMYK is an acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black) and is the color mode used for print design. Much like its close cousin, RGB, CMYK is made up of four colors that can be mixed in a multitude of ways to produce most of the colors for print. What makes CMYK unique is that they are subtractive colors, meaning they get continuously darker as they are combined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Complementary colors<\/h3>\n

Complementary colors sit opposite or across from each other on the color wheel. For example, blue and orange are complementary colors, as are purple and yellow. These colors are the ones that we think of as \u201cgoing together\u201d well, making for an aesthetically-pleasing design when used together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Contrast<\/h3>\n

Contrast is the arrangement\/balance of opposing elements on a single page. For example, contrast can refer to light vs. dark colors, text color vs. background color, and so on. Contrast is an effective way to create visual interest within a design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Counter<\/h3>\n

Counter is the white space that is wholly or partially enclosed within a given letterform, such as \u201cd,\u201d \u201co,\u201d or \u201cc.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Creep<\/h3>\n

Creep, or singling, is the inside margin of a publication (book, magazine, etc.). Certain bindings require the creep to be larger so that all content can be visible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Crop marks<\/h3>\n

Descenders<\/h3>\n

A descender is the \u201ctail\u201d portion of a letter located below the baseline. In most fonts, only lowercase \u201cg,\u201d \u201cj,\u201d \u201cq,\u201d \u201cp,\u201d and \u201cy\u201d are descenders, though a limited numbers of fonts have a few additional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Display type<\/h3>\n

Display type is used to refer to fonts that are specifically designed to be eye-catching and are commonly used for things such as headlines, billboards, logos, and posters. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”E – F” tab_id=”1643217209362-18bc23aa-07a4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Ear<\/h3>\n

An ellipsis is a character made up of three dots (\u2026).<\/span><\/p>\n

Embossing\/debossing<\/h3>\n

These are finishing processes used to create dimensional relief images on a card or paper. A printing press can \u201clift\u201d a design into a paper (embossing) or \u201csink\u201d it into the paper (debossing).<\/span><\/p>\n

Extended<\/h3>\n

A character that has an exaggerated width, like an accent mark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hard\/soft return<\/h3>\n

Both a hard and soft return involves hitting the \u201creturn\u201d key to move to a new line of text. However, a \u201chard return\u201d is used to create a new paragraph, whereas a \u201csoft return\u201d is a new line within the same paragraph.<\/p>\n

Leading<\/h3>\n

A graphic design term (pronounced \u201cledding\u201d) for line-spacing, specifically the amount of space between two baselines of text. Larger leading provides more space and is usually preferred for a better look.<\/span><\/p>\n
