TERTIARY COLORS
ˈtər-shē-ˌer-ē ˈkə-lərz, n
Colors created through the combination of
one primary and one secondary color. Red-
orange, for example, results from mixing red
(a primary color) and orange (a secondary
color created by mixing equal parts of the pri-
maries red and yellow). See also color wheel.

SYMMETRY
ˈsi-mə-trē, n
The even distribution of elements along a
particular axis, often vertically or horizontally
oriented. Symmetrical layouts are organized
so that elements are more or less evenly
distributed top-to-bottom and/or left-to-right,
and therefore tend to be more conservative,
conveying greater stability than asymmetrical
layouts. See also asymmetry, balance,
and eye fl ow.

SYMBOL
ˈsim-bəl, n
A graphical sign that represents something
other than what is shown. In many cultures,
for example, a simple illustration of a heart,
especially in red, is used to symbolize affec-
tion or love. The sign does not look like love;
indeed, it scarcely looks like an actual heart.
But because the meaning is more or less uni-
versally agreed upon, this symbol can be used
to communicate effectively. Similarly, a red
cross carries a meaning understood across
many language and cultural barriers, but only
because its meaning is fi rst agreed upon by
those using it. See also icon and pictogram.
