\u201cGood Design is Good Business\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
-Thomas Watson Jr (American Businessman)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The human body is designed to interact with the world using visual cues. Our brains interact, absorb, manipulate and react to visual information in highly effective methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, humans are visual creatures. Our likeness towards images is built into our cognition and the ability to pay attention. Therefore, when we look at a text with an image, our attention is automatically drawn towards the picture.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our brain processes images at lightning speed, literally. To be precise, the human brain recognizes a familiar object within 100 milliseconds<\/a> and a familiar face within 380 milliseconds<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess that\u2019s enough to understand that social network designs <\/strong>play an exceptionally crucial role in attracting user\u2019s attention to your business. However, marketers who have worked on creating visuals for their company know just how tiring, time-consuming and draining it can be to get them just-right graphics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although going through the designing process is necessary, you can still avoid it becoming troublesome by making sure you make minimum mistakes while creating social media designs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before we move on with the design fundamentals and principles, let\u2019s understand the basics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference between Vector and Raster<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Designs revolve around two primary practices, i,e. Vector and Raster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Vector?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vector designing is based on a mathematical equation; it is created using lines, curves, and points instead of using specific pixels. Using a vector program requires you to outline shapes. Each of these shapes is known as an object and consists of one single colour. Once you outline all the shapes needed, you can layer them over one another to create a proper design. So resizing your image has no limits; it is on-point and precise as the computer will only use a mathematical equation to resize it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
