development of graphic design today

All that is certainly what graphic design, most do not know the meaning in the sense of small. You could say the longer trend at work today. That's because this time all the advertising, logos, and others were the result of the works of graphic designers. Arguably this is the graphic artist-the spearhead of all things associated with the business.
Graphic design is used in visual communication. In its simplest form can be decorative, but it rarely happens like that to pursue large-scale functional benefit from the ability to just look good. That does not mean that looking good does not have its place. In fact it happened, but combined with the destination is where it shows the correct role.
Always demanding attention, in desperate need for attention, loud, noisy and full of color and mono or at least, the results can be just as effective. Is it a big point-of sale (POS) in retail environments, packaging products in supermarkets compete with rival brands on the same shelf, products and services to live or die at the hands of graphic design.
More than just words, more than just picture it is a balancing act of visual communication at the fulcrum. This is a jigsaw puzzle with pieces of blank to be identified and assembled in order so that the final solution complete sense. The range of graphic design that we witness every day are varieties such that there is a possibility that we just take it for granted.

What is the purpose of a picture?

Creating an image or logo is not easy for the public or who see it to understand what the purpose of a work that we make. What is the purpose of a picture, why the image made like that. Here the answer lies in the understanding of desian or often called graphic design. Not everyone can easily create or design an object for his readers to easily understand what you are told through a design that you create them. But graphic design is not as difficult as you think in the making. There are so many design programs are popping up that comes with a tutorial explanation of the usefulness of each tool. Maybe you will become powerful and graphic design will be much in the search by large companies to create great works. All depends on our understanding of the science of graphic design.
Graphic design combines technology with art in order to convey a message. If you use visuals to communicate then you're creating graphic design. Delivering the message with a poster or logo can be much more effective than trying to verbally spread the message as the human brain responds best and be able to remember pictures better than words.
Graphic designers can use drawing, painting, photography and computers to create designs. They can also design the letterforms, for example of the kind seen in the movie credits.
Graphic design is all around us and we saw thousands of pieces of graphic design every day. Think about what you do when you wake up this morning. Do you eat cereal? Then you see the logo on a cereal box? Do you read newspapers? Then you see the typography? Do you drive to work? Then you see some billboard posters. Do you need identity cards to get into your office? So maybe the logo.
If you think that the power of graphic design does not affect you, that it does not tell you what to buy or how to behave and then think again. If you read the words of Coca Cola, McDonalds, Google or Superman, what is the first image that pops into your head?

Two styles of photography

Position and Appearance

One major difference between candid photography and portrait photos are in the way they are positioned, and in a way that they appear. Candid photos taken on the go when life is happening, and the image now shows like that. Professional portrait photography, however, are staged with sets, props, and position have been determined. These images will take a photo and preserve it in a way that is positioned to view.

The emergence of these two very different types of photography, in fact, honest photography can often look like it was not done by a professional at all. It can sweep you away, and remind you of past events with the appearance of simple and honest position.

Photographic portraits of preserving things in their perfect condition. They allow you to see the best, or catch something or someone in an ideal manner.

Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is one of the first things in digital photography that you should know if you want to excel your skills and get beautiful digital photos. Your shutter speed controls the amount of light entering into the digital sensor. The speed at with you get your light exposure can really make or break your digital photography.

In basic terms, to help you understand, control the shutter speed of light exposure. Think of it like opening and closing the door sooner or later. How fast or slow to open and close the impact on the exposure of light onto the digital sensor. shutter controls the amount of light entering the camera through speed. shutter can then make your image brighter or darker. Shutter speed can also affect clarity of moving objects for example. You can make a fast shutter speed, give 'float in the air' as shown. Think of the motion of fast moving objects that have been frozen in the "air" like drops of water for example. Shots like this have the shutter speed.

So what kind of shutter speeds you need to look like this? A "freeze motion" good shot where something looks suspended in time, perhaps at shutter speed 1 / 2000 just as an example. That means the shutter opens and closes so fast that you can not replicate it in sound or description. shutter had clicked at 2000 per second. That's a lot of sports photography done. Many subjects that move very fast can look really good with shutter speed.

Shoot the Waterfalls

Waterfalls

One important aspect about shooting waterfalls is knowing the waterfall itself. That in mean by that is knowing the lighting conditions in each year and day; know what time you will get the best.
Here are some useful tips to get beautiful waterfalls images.
Lighting for the waterfall is best when it just finished raining s-like storm that just passed. You can take advantage of this to get the right picture to get soft and dim light that brings out the dramatic nature of the waterfall. In order to get a slower shutter speed in a car, you will need to capture the waterfall after a rain, especially at this time.
There are some successful tips to get two types of waterfall shots. The first is the effect of soft smooth flowing water, such as the water looks like silk blanket on a rock. If you want to get this look, set your shutter speed of 1 to 2 seconds. To get the right exposure on the speed you set the aperture on the stop ff/16 or less say, f/22. You will see that with these settings you will get the depth, bigger is better from the field. The entire frame will be in focus this way, which is always a bonus. If you find you have too much light, just change your shutter to 2 seconds or just a few. You can also use a polariser or a neutral density filter. 

Filter for waterfall shots? I have found that the ND filters provide some fantastic effects. If you invest in one to photograph waterfalls, you'll find that the amount if light on the lens is reduced. After the light is reduced (provided you are shooting in daylight in the auto), shutter speed, will change accordingly. You will find there is no reduction in color at all.

Three elements for photographers

A renowned photographer Bryan Peterson eskposur easily explain the concept in his book titled "Understanding Exposure".

About illustrations of the three elements that must be known to understand the exposure, he named the three as a triangle hunbungan Photography. Each element is associated with light: how light entering and interacting with the camera.

These three elements are:

I. Iso

By definition of the ISO is a measure of the level of the camera sensor sensitivity to light. The higher the ISO setting the more sensitive we terhada light sensor.

To get a clear picture of the ISO setting on our camera (ASA in the case of photographic film), just think about the bee community. An ISO is a worker bee. If my camera set at ISO 100, it means I have 100 worker bees. And if my camera set at ISO 200 means I have 200 worker bees.

The task of each worker bees is to collect light coming through the lens of the camera and make pictures. If we use the lens aperture is identical and we both set at f/3.5, but I set my ISO at 200 while your 100 (think again about the worker bees), then the picture who would have finished faster?

Broadly speaking, when we increase the ISO setting from 100 to 200 (the aperture is always constant - we lock the aperture at f/3.5 or through Aperture Priority modes - A or Av), we shorten the time required in making a photograph in the camera sensor we get half (2kali faster), from shutter speed 1 / 125 to 1 / 250 sec. As we add more ISO to 400, we cut the time of the photo until the other half: 1 / 500 sec. Each time you shorten the time esksposur as much as half, we call a raise esksposur for 1stop.
