Let’s Explore
In this module, we are going to learn the following tools/techniques:
1. MS Word
a. Mail Merge
- It is a Word’s way of generating mass mailings. It involves
combining a list of names and addresses to individually
address to each person / receiver on the list.
- You can use Mail Merge to create envelopes or address labels,
as well as form letters.
- Mail Merged involved the following documents;
Main document – this document contains text and graphics.
Example body of the letter.
Mailing list – this is your data source that is used to populate
information in the letter. It contains names and address of
the recipients.
Merged document - this document the combination of the
main document.
6
b. Integrating Images
- In Microsoft word processing you can do a lot of things to
make your documents look good and presentable. One of its
function is to integrate image.
- Word processing refers to an application program for
manipulating text-based documents; the electronic equivalent
of paper, pen, typewriter, eraser, and most likely, dictionary
and thesaurus.
- Word processors run the scope from simple through complex,
but all ease the tasks associated with editing documents
(deleting, inserting, rewording, and so on).
2. MS Powerpoint
a. Custom Animation
Animation - is a simulation of movement created by displaying a series of pictures, or
frames. Animation on computers is one of the chief ingredients of multimedia
presentations. There are many software applications that enable you to create animations
that you can display on a computer monitor. One of this application software are
presentation software that you can use to create a slide show for your presentation. Some
of the popular software that are available online for free or for purchase are WPS Office,
LibreOffice, and MS-PowerPoint.
b. Hyperlink
A hyperlink or simply a link, is a reference data that the
reader can directly follow either by clicking or tapping.
Hyperlinks are found in nearly all Web pages, allowing
users to click their way from one page to another. In text
hyperlinks are often color blue and
underlined. When you move the cursor over a hyperlink,
whether it is text, button or an image, the arrow cursor
should be change to a small hand pointing to the link.

3. MS Excel
Electronic Spreadsheet
- According to emerald.com electronic spreadsheet is
probably the most useful general-purpose software for the
microcomputer user.
- Almost all spreadsheets are now packaged in combination
with other applications, such
as database system and graphic capabilities.
- Electronic spreadsheet refers to a collection of text and
numbers laid out in a rectangular grid. It is an application
program commonly used for budgeting, inventory
management, decision making, forecasting and other
finance-related tasks.
- It replaces the traditional financial modeling tools, the
accountant’s columnar
pad, pencil and calculator.
- It a spreadsheet program, data and formulas used to
calculate those data are entered into ledge-like forms (Spreadsheets or Worksheets) for
analysis, tracking, planning, or “what-if” evaluations of the impact of real or proposed
changes on an economic strategy.
Formula – is an equation that performs operation on worksheet data. A formula
in Microsoft Excel always begins with an equal sign (=).
Common Error Values That You Can Encounter from Faulty Formulas
1.#DIV/0! - appears when entering a formula that performs explicit division byzero (0), using a
reference to a blank cell or to a cell that contains zero as the divisor in a formula or function that
performs division or running a macro that uses a function or a formula that returns the #DIV/0!
error.
2.##### - appears when the column is not wide enough to display the content and/or dates and
times are negative numbers. The solution is to increase the column width.
3.#NAME? - Appears when the formula refers to a range name that doesn't exist in the
worksheet. This error value appears when you type the wrong range name or fail to enclose in
quotation marks some text used in the formula, causing Excel to think that the text refers to a
range name.
4.#N/A – appears when
• an inappropriate value was given for the lookup_value argument in the
HLOOKUP, LOOKUP, MATCH, or VLOOKUP worksheet function,
• the VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, or MATCH worksheet function was used to locate
a value in an unsorted table,
• an array formula (array formula: A formula that performs multiple calculations
on one or more sets of values, and then returns either a single result or multiple
results.
• one or more required arguments were omitted from a built-in or custom
worksheet function,
• a custom worksheet function that you use is not available and
• a macro that you run enters a function that returns #N/A.
5.#NULL! - Appears most often when you insert a space (where you should have used a
comma) to separate cell references used as arguments for functions.
8
6.#NUM! - Appears when Excel encounters a problem with a number in the formula, such as
the wrong type of argument in an Excel function or a calculation that produces a number too
large or too small to be represented in the worksheet.
7.#REF! - Appears when Excel encounters an invalid cell reference, such as
when you delete a cell referred to in a formula or paste cells over the cells
referred to in a formula.
8.#VALUE! - Appears when you use the wrong type of argument or operator in a function, or
when you call for a mathematical operation that refers to cells that contain text entries. For
example, the formula =A1+B1, where A1 contains the string "Hello" and B1 contains the
number 3, returns the #VALUE! error.

Let’s Explore
Basic Principles of Graphics and Layout
- The elements and principles of design are the building blocks of a successful beautiful
design.
- The elements of design are the things or tools that make up a design while the
Principles of design are what we do to those elements.
13
1. LINE – Lines are defined by points moving in
space. It can create a sense of movement or direction
in your design. Line is can be smooth, rough,
straight, curve, broken, thick or thin.
2. SHAPE – A shape is an enclosed space, the
boundaries of which are defined by other elements of
art like lines, colors, values or textures. Shapes can
be used to create patterns and draw the viewer’s
attention.
3. DIRECTION – Applying motion to create the
visual illusion of movement. Use horizontal direction
for calmness, stability and tranquility while vertical
direction for emotions of balance, formality and
alertness.
4. SIZE (SCALE) – Size is basically the relationship of the area occupied by one shape to
that of another. Large elements means more significant than the small one.
5. TEXTURE – Texture refers to surface appearance of an object given by the dimensions,
form, thickness, arrangement, and amount of its basic parts.
6. COLOR – Color is light redirected off objects. It is used to create curiosity and
emotions to the viewers. It has three main characteristics: hue (these are red, green,blue,
etc.), value (lightness/ darkness), and intensity (saturation, or amount of pigment) and
temperature (warm and cool).
The Principles of Design
These are the rules that help you organize and place the materials to make arts or designs.
1. BALANCE – Balance in design is the state of equal relationship. It means equal
distribution of visual weight in a design. It can be achieved by adjusting the visual
weight of each element, in terms of size, color, textures, shapes or contrast.
- Balance in graphic design provides stability and structure to a design.
There are different kinds of balance:
• Symmetrical balance occurs when identical weights are on equal sides of a composition.
• Asymmetrical balance occurs when a design have unequal graphic weight on either side,
but those unequal graphics need to balance each other (un-evenly balanced).
• Radial balance occurs when the design elements swirl out from a central axis (emanating
from a central point)
2. PROXIMITY – Proximity maintains a relationship between items that go together.
It helps creates organization by grouping the same elements together or in close
proximity. The elements should be connected visually.
3. ALIGNMENT – Alignment refers to lining up the elements of a design along the
top, bottom, center or sides of the elements. It allows us to create order and
organization in our design. The whole point of the alignment is that nothing in your
design should look as if it were placed there randomly.
4. REPETITION, PATTERN, AND RHYTHM – Repetition duplicates the
characteristics of similar elements to contribute to design consistency. It
strengthens a design by tying together individual elements; pattern is a regular
arrangement of alternated or repeated elements like shapes, lines or colors;
rhythm--is a combination of elements repeated, but with variations.
5. CONTRAST – Contrast refers to the use of conflicting elements or colors while still
remaining harmonious and unified when the artwork is viewed as a whole. It allows
14
you to give emphasis to key elements in your design.
6. SPACE – It refers to the area that an object occupies. Both positive and negative
space should be considered in graphic design. White space gives your design
breathing room.
What is Infographic?
Information graphic or Infographic is a
photographic presentations of data and information
that use the different elements of design to make
data easily understandable at a
glance. Infographics make complex messages
become more visually appealing to the viewers.
Visual Message Design can help with effectiveness
of delivery of a message. It can lend
assistance in presenting your ideas clearly.
Let’s Dig
In
I. Directions: Identify every item below if it belongs to the elements of design or the
principles of design. Write E if it belongs to the Elements of Design and write P if it
belongs to the Principles of Design.
15
II. Directions: Read the statements below an answer. Write T if the statement
is true and write F if the statement is false.
_____1. Infographic is a presentation of data and information that use the different
elements of design to make data easily understandable at a glance.
_____2. Pixel refers to the number of pixels in an image or the detail an image holds.
_____3. Visual Message Design can help with effectiveness of delivery of a message.
_____4. Lossy compression retains values and manages to lower file size.
_____5. In Elements of Design, large elements gives more significant than the small one.
Let’s Remember
In creating any design, we should always remember the different types of
elements to be used and how to use them properly.
Basic Principles of Graphics and Layout
