Glossary
The world of graphic design, video production, and web development is full of technical terms that are often difficult to understand in everyday life. In this glossary, I explain the most important terms from the fields of print, video, and web – concisely, clearly, and without unnecessary jargon. Whether you want to learn about prepress, video editing, or web design: you'll find the right explanation here.
Missing a term you'd like explained? Just send it my way and I'll add it to the list.
Halftone
A printing technique that simulates continuous shades of color using dots of varying size and spacing instead of solid tones. Zoom into any printed photo and you'll typically see this dot pattern – it's how printers reproduce gradients with only a handful of ink colors.
