1. Image - An image, digital image, or still image is a binary representation of visual information such as drawings, pictures, graphs, logos, or individual video frames. Digital images can be saved electronically on any storage device.
2. Picture - A group of colored points on a flat surface that looks the same as something else. For example, a picture can look the same as an object or a person. Pictures can also be drawings, paintings or photographs. People who make such pictures are called artists, photographers or painters. Pictures are very helpful. Sometimes people say pictures are worth a thousand words. Pictures and diagrams can be used to explain how to do things, and thus a picture is a kind of tool. A moment captured in an image.
3. Lines - Lines are the most basic of the design elements. Lines can be straight, curved, thick, thin, solid and not- solid. They are used to connect two points, separate sections of a design or focus the user's eye on an element. A jagged line conveys emotion, a line that ends in arrow forces the viewer's eye to look in a specific direction. A line that meanders among several elements guides the viewer from one element to the next and on to the next.
4. Shapes - The basic geometric shapes are squares, circles, and triangles. They are used as boxes or borders on a design or as solid shapes for decorative purposes. Shapes are also icons, symbols, and dingbats. Shapes add interest to a design.
5.Texture - Visual texture is created with certain graphics techniques to draw attention to an element on a page or to serve as a background on a web design. Texture increases the overall visual appearance and draws attention. Texture can be added to a type, images, and other elements.
6.Color - Color is an obvious element that is used to attract attention and to represent emotion and mood. Red presents strength, anger or passion, for example, while blue invokes peace and security.
Value - Value refers to how dark or light an area of the design looks. Value creates contrast and emphasis.
7.Size - The size of an element in a graphic design is an indication of its importance. A large size indicates the most important information and draws the viewer's attention.
