Gain a good knowledge of graphic design today
This free online course is ideal for students studying graphic design, those working in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) or indeed anyone interested in design in general.
Exploring graphic design, industrial design and the design process in general, this exciting course examines various design elements including line, shape, form and texture and design principles, covering composition, balance, contrast and hierarchy.
Modules in Graphic Design - Visual and Graphic Design
This course will help you to gain a good knowledge of using elements such as lines, shapes, forms, tones, textures, letters and colours in design. You will know the most important design principles that should be considered in a visual display. It will help you to understand paraline, orthogonal, isometric, oblique, planometric and perspective drawing systems and elements of the production system such as printing, photography, photocopying and 3D processes.

in respond to Omodele Asiwaju, Tone lighten part of an object and shadow is the dark part created in opposite direction of the light on object. I hope you do understand.

Oblique
With this style, the front face of an object is emphasised. The drawing begins with the front view being placed at 90o and the receding parallel lines being drawn at an angle of 45o. There are two forms of oblique drawing: one that is suitable for measurement and the other that is more suited to display.
Cavalier oblique is the style where all measurements are exact. This results in a high degree of visual distortion, even though the measurements are accurate.
Cabinet oblique corrects the distortion by making the side measurement half of the actual dimension. Whilst this corrects the distortion, it alters the dimensions of the original plan.
