Graphic Design: Composition of Commercial Images

Composition in Graphic Design: Knowing how to compose images

“!! Congratulations!! We have reached the end of the course. I hope you enjoyed it a lot and that everything you learned helps you bring new projects to life. Below, I have outlined the essential steps to follow to complete your project. Remember to document the entire work process so you can see the evolution. You can use the illustration I have made as an example, but I would like you to give free rein to your imagination and find your own style. I encourage you to experiment and practice! Determine the project and the brief Identify in your environment who is about to launch a new project. Ask among your acquaintances, at work, even look for potential clients that are within your reach and dare to generate an opportunity. Gather all possible information about the project and/or the company and create a brief. Search for concepts and images Look for concepts that represent ideas obtained from the client or your own. When implementing the collage technique, it is necessary to simplify the message, make a correct synthesis of it and express it through images in order to transmit it in the clearest way possible. Then, look for the images!

Create the composition Implement the tools that I showed you during the course in your creative process. Crop and clean up images in Photoshop. Then, create a grid taking into account the techniques and rules of photographic and visual composition. Edit the images Make the necessary adjustments to achieve a homogeneous illustration. Adjust color, lighting, shadows and highlights, replace elements if some don't fit, and add textures. Finally, check the composition using the golden section and add the final details. View the project Review the final files and take advantage of the potential of your compositions. Optimize images: extract modular compositions that you can use as part of the design. To help you visualize the product, create mock-ups and evaluate the effect the illustration has. Sort the files This is undoubtedly one of the most important steps during the process. By delivering files in an orderly manner, we can optimize them to avoid risks and production errors, as well as making work easier. When you have finished presenting your project, share it with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that led you to it. Don't be afraid to share your projects! If you try hard and practice, you will surely improve every day. Remember: practice makes perfect. If you already have some experience or you dedicate yourself to design professionally, this is the key to generating new opportunities and being seen by brands. Exposure is vital, so do not minimize this great opportunity and participate in the forum: comment on the work of your colleagues, contribute ideas and share your progress and doubts. I will also be there as often as possible to give you advice and answer questions. See you soon! ”

“What a thrill! We have reached the end of the course. It is worth celebrating that we have reached this point. Thanks for walking me up to this point. That speaks to me of your desire to grow and learn new things, which is worthy of applause. I would have loved to have sites like Domestika when I was in college, since we have the opportunity to be so close to very talented people of them, their experience and their knowledge.
