Design jargon buster: graphic design glossary of terms for students and creative professionals
Graphic design resources web site, Design Talkboard, has unveiled a fully searchable graphic design dictionary and glossary of terms for design students and graphics professionals.
(I-Newswire) - Graphic design resources web site, Design Talkboard, were fielding so many questions from design students and junior designers - about unfamiliar concepts and terminology - that they realised that a comprehensive online design glossary would be an invaluable resource.
Having unsuccessfully scoured the web for similar resources, Design Talkboard realised that a searchable design glossary would be a useful addition to their thriving design portal.
Many of the issues that designers face on a day-to-day basis are the result of misunderstandings between the creative side of the design and publishing industry and the production, pre-press and printing industry.
“You wouldn’t believe some of the stories we’ve heard about print jobs going disastrously wrong, simply because of a lack of understanding between creatives and pre-press departments”, said Richard Shadbolt, Design Talkboard’s Editor in Chief. “As a result, the design glossary has included an extensive section on prepress terms aimed specifically at graphic designers.”
For similar reasons, the design glossary has also focussed on technical web design terminology, for non-technical designers.
“The web design industry is often split between creative designers, who use Photoshop and cut graphics, and technically savvy web developers, who code web sites. In a similar way to the print design industry, communication is a key to a successful design project and we hope the glossary contributes to this,” Said Richard Shadbolt.
Other sections in the glossary include font terminology, web design concepts for creatives and a design software jargon busting section.
Design Talkboard are keen to point out that the glossary is an ongoing project. Terms are being added regularly and an online form is available for visitors to suggest terms for addition to the glossary. The glossary is viewable online now at; http://www.designtalkboard.com/glossary/
Design Talkboard is a design industry news and resources portal. The Talkboard itself, has an active and friendly user forum, where members can comment and exchange information about graphic design, web design and design software related issues. Some members ask for feedback on their portfolios or web site projects - whilst others are happy simply asking for, or giving, advice on technical issues or sharing their experience with useful career advice.
