Visual Media
Picture: a form of art
- Can refer to a painting or drawing.
- Derived from the latin word “pictura”
meaning painting.
Image: a soft copy
Photo: a hard copy
- Specifically refers to an image taken
with a camera.
- Shortened form of photograph.
Visual Media: Materials, programs,
applications and the like that teachers and
students use to formulate new information
to aid learning.
Examples:
- Photography
- Videos
- Screenshots
- Infographics
- Data visualization
- Cartoons
Elements of Visual Media
1. Point: is simply a dot. A point
establishes a position and acts as
visual focus.
2. Lines: can be described as a shape
or outline. It can create texture and
can be thick or thin. Lines may be
actual, implied, vertical, horizontal,
diagonal, or contour lines.
Different types of Lines:
a. Horizontal lines: one which runs
from left to right across the page. It
comes from the word ‘horizon’, in the
sense that horizontal lines are
parallel to the horizon.
b. Vertical lines: is one that goes
straight up and down, parallel to the
y-axis of the coordinate plane. All
points on the line will have the same
x-coordinate.
c. Diagonal lines: are unbalanced.
They can appear to be either rising
or falling and convey action and
motion.
d. Zigzag lines: patterns made up of
small corners at variable angles,
though constant within the zigzag,
tracing a path between two parallel
lines.
e. Curve lines: similar to a line but not
straight. Is a generalization of
curvature line and not be zero.
f. Curly lines: are softer than straight
lines. They sweep and turn gracefully
between end points, need to be zero.
They are less definite and
predictable than straight lines.
g. Space: refers to the surface that acts
as a visual container drawing
attention to other visual elements in a
layout.
h. Shapes: are usually a geometric area
that stands out from the space next
 to or around it, or because of
differences in value, color, or texture.
Types of shape
- 1-D / 1 Dimensional
- 2-D / 2 Dimensional
- 3-D / 3 Dimensional
Characteristics of shape
- Geometric
- Organic
- Abstract
i. Forms: are figures having volume
and thickness. An illusion of
3-dimensional object can be implied
with the use of light and shading.
j. Values: is the contrast between black
and white and all the tones in
between. Value can be used with
color as well as black and white.
k. Textures: are illusion of the surface
peaks and valleys, returning in a
feeling of smoothness or roughness
in objects.
l. Colors: may be used for emphasis,
or may elicit emotions from viewers.
Plays a major role in our visual
perception, as it influences our
reactions about the world around us.
Principles of Visual Media
1. Balance: is visual equality in shape,
form, value, color, etc. Can be
symmetrical and evenly balanced, or
asymmetrical and unevenly
balanced. Balance is classified into 2:
symmetry & asymmetry
2. Contrast: is a unique elements in a
design should stand apart from one
another. One way to do this is to use
contrast. Allows the viewer’s eye to
flow naturally.
3. Repetition: breed as cohesiveness in
a design. Once a design patterns has
been established. Repeat this pattern
to establish consistency.
4. Alignment: is the placement of visual
elements, so they line up in a
composition.
5. Emphasis: is discovered by the eye in
relation to this one focal point. How
the eye moves into the rest of the
image is determined by this point.
6. Organization: will bring together a
composition with similar units.
Determine the qualities and
quantities of an object for a photo.
Image file Formats
a. JPEG: Joint Photographic experts
Group.
- Popular image file format. It
is commonly used by digital
cameras to store photos since
it supports 16,777,216 colors.
b. PNG: Portable Network Graphics
- Is designed to work well in
online viewing applications
like web browsers and can be
fully streamed with a
progressive display option.
c. GIF: Graphics Interchange Format
- Are due to its animation
capabilities, it is still widely
used to provide image
 animations effects, despite its
low compression ratio
compared to modern video
formats.

d. BMP: Bitmap Files Format

- Uncompressed, and
therefore large and lossless;
their advantage is their
simple structure and wide
acceptance in windows
programs.

e. Vector: images, alternatively, allow

for more flexibility. Constructed using
mathematical formulas rather than
individual colored blocks.
