There are three responses to a piece of design — yes, no, and WOW! WOW is the one to aim for.

Computer graphics

Computer graphics are pictures and movies created using computers - usually referring to image data created by a computer specifically with help from specialized graphical hardware and software. It is a vast and recent area in computer science.The phrase was coined by computer graphics researchers Verne Hudson and William Fetter of Boeing in 1960. Another name for the field is computer-generated imagery, or simply CGI.

Important topics in computer graphics include user interface design, sprite graphics, vector graphics, 3D modeling, shaders, GPU design, and computer vision, among others. The overall methodology depends heavily on the underlying sciences of geometry, optics, and physics. Computer graphics is responsible for displaying art and image data effectively and beautifully to the user, and processing image data received from the physical world. The interaction and understanding of computers and interpretation of data has been made easier because of computer graphics. Computer graphic development has had a significant impact on many types of media and has revolutionized animation, movies, advertising, video games, and graphic design generally.

To begin, a delightful layout by Heather McMahon

Heather tells us a little about the creative process: ‘I made the flower banner by using only the centres of flowers. I glued them in place to look like they were strung across the page. I made some small satin bows and glued these at the top of each flower loop to make it look like the string of flowers was tied into place. I used soft pastel colours to add to the dreamlike feel of the page.’

Alicia shares a few tips: ‘I decided to stick with the blues and build the layout around the vine piece (which I LOVE). I cut it into 2 sections. I added the black touches and the paper lace doily to tie in with the Great Gatsby colour scheme I was after.
