CUBISM
ˈkyü-ˌbi-zəm, n
An early twentieth-century (roughly 1907–
1920) avant-garde European art movement
in which objects, including the human fi gure,
were often abstracted into geometric shapes.
Multiple perspectives were presented simulta-
neously, and three dimensions reduced to two,
challenging conventional rules of perspec-
tive dating back to the Renaissance. Soon,
graphic design would refl ect similar experi-
mental approaches to spatial composition
and geometric abstraction.

CROP
ˈkräp, v
To trim a photograph or other piece of

precisely frame the contents of a photograph,
or to match the size and proportions of an im-
age to the space allotted for it within a given
layout. The small lines used to frame the
artwork for cropping are called crop marks.
