Swirl
design, clip art and pop art a new face of the popular art culture that add a
touch of difference to your work. Swirl design these days have picked up great pace in the advertisement and
graphic art circuit, with flourishing touches in icons creating a dramatic
effect on the viewer. Usually simple Swirl
designs can be created either using brush tools or vector art, but if you want
to achieve something of high class and quality, a number of software are
available that will help you to achieve the desired effect. Swirl designs can be used in a wide
context, starting from personal desktop background, project or power point
presentation to designing web pages for clients and no matter what your need,
there are a large number of design galleries and art tutorials online that will
aid you in your pursuit to create the perfect look for your work.
Swirl design enhances your graphic art
form and can be used to incorporate the flourishing touches of various art
designs, starting from wildlife, landscape design, abstract art, environment,
etc. Swirl design is used for
calendars, t-shirts, typographical designs, and a host of products for various
companies to magnify their visual appeal. Such art form can be used to create
fascinating mixes of border designs, floral art, leaf patterns, stylized icons,
abstract art forms, etc. This art form is generally used in tandem with other
graphic design styles and clip art
to give it an edge above others.
Clip art is a form of graphic art that is
pre-made and used extensively to illustrate and enhance the artistic appeal of
a wide range of products, from commercial advertisements online, to greetings
cards. Since its introduction in the
market, a few decades ago, clip art has
been extended to include several types of formats, files, compatibilities and
license restrictions and are used for both print and electronic media. It is
created either by hand or digitally and then electronically transmitted through
various websites.
Clip art can broadly be divided into two
formats: bitmap and vector. In the former type, which is a rasterized version
involves a rectangular image which is generally scanned to the computer, and is
marked by significantly low resolution. Vector graphics on the other hand,
involve the use of geometric modelling, which converts the image digitally into
a set on lines, polygons or points that allows it to retain a high resolution
when it is printed. Clip art is a
form of intellectual property of graphic artists and firms and hence is subject
to the terms and conditions imposed by them. To use these clip art forms, one must pay certain royalties, as they are
associated with copyrights and related issues.
Pop art is yet another for of graphic design
that creates wonders in terms of visibility and impact upon the viewers, since,
as the name suggests it “pops out” of the pages to leave a lasting effect in
your mind. Pop art is also significantly
different from other graphic design forms owing to the fact that it makes use
of popular culture as opposed to the traditional or elitist art forms, to
create a contemporary look that is much sought after these days.
