What Is Graphic Design? (week 2)

What is a Graphic Design? Graphic design is the methodology of visual communication "a term that emphasizes its function of giving form" like the design of a GREETING CARD, POSTER, PRODUCT PACKAGING, BROCHURES, ADVERTISEMENT, BOOK DESIGN, CORPORATE STATIONARY, WEBSITE, ICONS, and LOGOS to information to audience. The field is considered a sub set of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term "Graphic Design" is used interchangeably with these due to overlapping skilss involved. Graphic designers use various methods to create and combine WORDS, SYMBOLS, and IMAGES to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. Thus, graphic design is the art and profession of selecting and arranging visual elements such as TYPOGRAPHY, IMAGES, SYMBOLS, and COLOURS to convey a message to an audience. An important part of the designer's task is to combine VISUAL and VERBAL ELEMENTS into an ordered and effective whole. Graphic design is therefore a collaborative discipline.
