2. PPI It means 'pixels per inch', which means the number of pixels per inch in your image. For example, if you create a large image in Photoshop, then you will increase the number of pixels per inch and you will lose the quality.


3. Raster Images These images are created using thousands of pixels. The expansion of a raster image will also reduce the quality. Photos are an example of a raster image. Photoshop is the most common screen editor, which allows you to manipulate colors and other properties of pixels.

4.Bleed This allows a small space to move graphic or some other element or printer beyond the actual margins of the page. Elements touches the side of the page, leaves no margin or white space on the side.


5. Vector Images They are images that can be easily shaped without loss of quality. They are made up of points, each of which has a defined X and Y coordination. Adobe Illustrator is a vector editor. Logo is a perfect example for vector images.

6. Focal Point In graphic design, the focal point is the point where you want to attract the attention of the reader or the viewer. It can be small els it can be big. Sometimes, graphic designers make a focal point by placing only one small object on one page, and in this case the focal point is clear. Occasionally, the focal point may be within different elements.


7.CMYK This color mode used by the printer and the cyan, magenta, yellow and key (CMYK) to make colors during the printing process, whether it is a magazine, newsletter, brochures, brochures, annual reports etc. 8. Grids The best way to describe the grid in graphic design is a series of vertical and horizontal lines that tamper and the materials are used to organize. Whether you are working in InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator, installing a grid allows you to get the right structure and balance your type and images.


9.Negative Space This is a field on a page that is left without images and words are known as empty or negative. This negative or white location is very important in graphic design projects. 10. Orphan and Windows If you are dealing with long or short text routes, then you should be cautious of widows and orphans. In typesetting, widows are lines that end in the paragraph and fall in the beginning of the next page or column. Orphans are paragraph lines that start under a page or column. Both seem unpleasant and can be filled by more copies or arrangements by the designer.


11. Mockups Design or original idea was created and displayed on the screen (for example, if you are a graphic designer specializing in web designing and want to show your thoughts to the client before starting coding, you can create a mock-up in Photoshop And then can show the model as a .jpg or PDF to the customer) in the printed format. They allow the customer to see how the final product should look like.

12. Kerning When adjusting the distance between the characters of the fonts is more pleased than the artistic point of view, it is known as kerning. For example, if you want to increase the space between "T" and "i" to prevent merge between "T", then its type is uncertain. You also want to make sure that when you use uppercase letters like "T" or "A" which are used in the title, your kerning is correct.


13. Tracking This line or text block is used to increase or decrease the space between letters uniformly. Once the kernel has been used to determine the correct difference between each letter. It can be used to change the difference between each letter uniformly at a time.

14. Color Theory What colors do people feel and how they will affect one person. In graphic design, color theory is used to find the best types of colors to work under different conditions: for example, for a website that needs to be soft and comfortable or feel a magazine advertisement Which should be visible outside the page and create energy in the reader.


15. Digital Painting Digital printing describes the process of transferring a document into a transfer substrate into a document on a computer or other digital storage device that accepts the output of text and graphics. For digital printing Inkjet and laser printers are used.
