| Raster | image or bitmap is a data structure representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of color, viewable via a monitor, paper, or other display medium |
| Resolution | amount of detail an image holds |
| DPI (Dot Per Inch) | measure of spatial printing or video dot density, in particular the number of individual dots that can be placed within the span of one linear inch (2.54 cm) |
| Pixel | (picture element) is the smallest item of information in an image |
| PPI (Pixel Per Inch) | pixel density is a measurement of the resolution of devices in various contexts; typically computer displays, image scanners or digital camera image sensors |
| CMYK | referred to as process color or four color, is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, also used to describe the printing process itself. CMYK refers to the four inks used in most color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black) |
| PSD | (Photoshop document) default file extension |

| JPEG | (join photographic experts group) commonly used method of compression for images |
| Value | the lightness or darkness of a color |
| Economy | design strategy that uses a minimal amount of visual information |
| Overlapping | visual placement of one object in front of another |
| Contrast | degree of difference between compositional parts or between one image and another |
| Asymmetrical Balance | the balance of elements that have unequal visual weight |
| Hue | the name of a color, such as red, that distinguishes it from others and assigns it a position in the visual spectrum and on the color wheel |

| Design | a planned arrangement of visual elements to construct an organized visual pattern |
| Opacity | the state or quality of being opaque |
| Opaque | not transparent or translucent; impenetrable to light; not allowing light to pass through |
| Transparency | a situation in which an object or form allows light to pass through it, in two-dimensional art, two forms overlap, but they are both seen in their entirety |
| Pattern | the repetition of a visual element or module in a regular and anticipated sequence |
| Repetition | using the same visual element over again within the same composition |
| Negative Space | empty |
| Equilibrium | a state of rest or balance due to the equal action of opposing forces |
| Balance | the equilibrium of opposing or interacting forces in a pictorial composition |
| Focal Point | compositional device emphasizing a certain area or object to draw attention to the piece and to encourage closer scrutiny of the work |
| Monochromatic | a color scheme using only one hue with varying degrees of value or intensity |
| Proportion | size measured against other elements or against a mental norm or standard |
| Texture | characteristic surface quality of an object |
