Graphics created on your own computer can look terrific or terrible when transferred to video. This program explores the use of text, line, color, backgrounds and graphic design for effective communication of your message. Special emphasis is placed on designing graphics that will withstand the limitations of the video signal, including resolution, contrast tolerance, color tolerance and the potential for flicker and interference patterns. Considerations for readable text include density, size, style, edge treatment and anti-aliasing. The visualportion of this fast-paced program is made up almost entirely of graphics designed to demonstrate the points being made.
