[INFO]The Graphic Dictionary

[MasterDisaster]

Hello everybody!It's been some time since I've made or shared something here.Today I decided to help people with my lil graphic knowledge in a way that many would be helped (I GUESS)!

I decided to make a "graphic dictionary" for the newbies.

So let's just start!

 

 

Definitions

---

*GFX:Once you start photoshop the most common word is "GFX"!GFX has too possible meaning.It either can be "Graphics(Grafix)" or "Graphic Effects"!a

 

*PS:Simple but tricky,PS stands for Photoshop (PhotoShop).

 

*Render:A render,is a pre-cut part of a picture!It makes your effects application easier.

 

*Stock:Stock is any random picture/image you have took/found.

 

*Sprite:Sprites are 2D render which actually are some pixelized characters from video games or famous comic/anime series.

 

*Font:A font is a different style of typesetting letters.

 

*C4D:C4D is a program(Cinema 4 Dimensions) in which you are able to create a multi-dimensional render/image.

 

*C4D Render:C4D renders are some abstract images made with C4D.

 

*Focal Point:The focal point on a piece is the first part of it that the eye goes at first.In other words,it's the point that draws more attention than any other part of the piece.It's usually sharpened and lightened.

 

*Background:It's exactly the opposite of "focal Point"!It should draw less attention than focal but still be well blended in order to look nice in a tag.It's usually blurred and darkened.

 

*Depth:In gfx,depth has almost the same meaning as in real life. The focal point should be brighter and sharpened while the background should be blurred and dark.!

 

*Flow:Flow,is the direction a piece has.For example,a tag's flow could be "Down right to Upper left"!

 

*Composition/Concept:The overal idea/feeling you are trying to express with your piece.For example,if you make a batman tag showing him ready to punch,the concept is fighting.

 

*Blending:Nice blending means you achieved applying flow,depth,plus having a nice composition!

 

*PSD:PSD stands for "PhotoShop Document"!.psd is the only format in which you will find all the layers used to make a tag.

 

*Full Rights:When somebody owns the full rights for something,it means he can share this anywhere without asking permission or even changing any part of it.Mostly used for tutorials and psd's!

 

*LRO:LRO stands for "Learning Rights Only"!It means that you can't edit or claim the document is yours but you can use it for learning purposes.

 

*Rip,Ripper,Ripping:When somebody has ripped or is called as a ripper,it means that he edited something it wasn't his property without having permission to do it.

 

*HQ/LQ:High Quality/Low Quality

 

*Tone:How dark or light a color is!

 

*FHS:FHS stands for "Floating Head Syndrome"!It can be called as an effect on a sig or failed attempt to make the head of the render/focal standing out more.
