Cropping Images

In this video, John McWade talks about cropping techniques and how they are used to manipulate images in a design. He focuses on the 7 kinds of cropping, which consist of the hard crop, soft crop, split crop, stickout crop, the knockout crop, false crop, and shape crop. Each crop technique is unique and are used according to the feel the designer is trying to illustrate through his design. I’ve used most of these crop techniques at some point in my designs, but I’ve never realized how much I’ve favored some techniques over the others. John showed me how using certain techniques can strengthen a design through simple crops or even radical interesting ones. All in all, this was a great, informative video that explained these techniques very well.
