Design Lingo: Design Terms Decoded for Non-Designers

[lenaellis]

There is an informative article that was posted in the hiring hub recently which listed design terms for non-designers. The list was pretty comprehensive with terms such as:

• Adaptive design
•  Responsive web design 
• Aspect ratio
• Baseline alignment 
• Below the fold
• CMYK/RGB
• Typeface
• Typography
• Vector graphic
• Wireframe:

Are there any other terms that you would add to this list? As designers, when working with clients or non-designers on your team do you find that you have to over explain things a lot? Almost as if you're speaking another language.

User Interface, User Experience (ui/ux), dpi, retina display, adaptive vs responsive,  printscreen,   ( some people make photos of their screen print it and scan it insteand 🙂 ),  font vs typeface,  banding,  golden ratio,  patterns, negative space ... to name just a few. :))
