Lesson details
Key learning points

- Landscapes let graphic designers explore scale, perspective and composition from vast vistas to intimate details.
- Designers can use landscapes to celebrate nature’s beauty and foster appreciation for ecological diversity.
Keywords
Landscape - all the visible features of an area of land, often considered in terms of their visual appeal
Layering - placing images, textures, or text on top of each other to create depth and interest
Perspective - creating depth and distance in a composition
Common misconception
Graphic design landscapes must look realistic to be effective.
In graphic communication, the goal is to communicate visually, not replicate reality. Stylised or abstracted landscapes can be more impactful and expressive.
