FORMULAS BASIC PRINCIPLES IN GRAPHIC AND LAYOUT

 Start with “=” sign and follow PEMDAS BALANCE

COMMON FUNCTIONS  Visual weight of elements is evenly distributed

AVERAGE CONSISTENCY

 =AVERAGE(range)  Repeating visual elements can be a pattern,

o =AVERAGE(B2:B5) repetition, and rhythm

AVERAGEIF EMPHASIS

 =AVERAGEIF(range,”criteria”)  Appear different in size, texture, shape, or

o =AVERAGEIF (B2:B5, “>74”) color to attract viewers’ attention

COUNT MOVEMENT

 =COUNT(range)  Visual elements that create motion and guide

o =COUNT(E2:E8) viewers’ eye

COUNTIF UNITY

 =COUNTIF(range,”criteria”)  Distance or closeness between elements

o =COUNTIF(E2:E8,”<75”) shows connection and conveys visual message

SUM VARIETY
