GRAPHIC ARTISTS

Unit 12. The Art of Graphic Design

Visual Texture

Artists are aware that we experience texture not only through our sense of touch, but also through our sense of vision. Look at the painting in Figure 11–2.

The glassware has been painted in a very lifelike fashion. Each facet, or cut design in the glass, looks real enough to touch. Yet, a viewer touching the surface would feel no such facets. The surface instead would feel flat. It would also feel slightly grainy rather than smooth. This is because the work was done on canvas, a coarse material.

Figure 11–2

This painting makes use of visual texture. We “feel” the texture with our eyes. Lookback at the realistic street scene in Figure 10–3. How many different textureshas the artist recorded? Which of these would feel smooth?

It was printed and illustrated by an artist called an illuminator. Professional illuminators were considered craftspeople. The illustrations in early handmade manuscripts were called illuminations.

The name comes from the media used, which often included gold leaf and paint made of crushed gems. These materials made the works glitter with light. Graphic artists today work in many different fields. Each area has its own special tasks and job title. Some of these fields are publishing, illustration, advertising, and Web design. Sometimes graphic artists work together as members of a larger creative team. Most of them use computers to create their designs. What are some other career choices you can identify involving graphic artists?
