What is Graphic Design?
Graphic design can be thought of as a visual language that is used to convey a message to an audience and is a visual representation of an idea.
Almost all digital and print media is made up of graphics. Graphic designs rely on the creation, selection, and organization of visual elements to create an effective communication.
Graphic Designers solve visual and verbal communication problems. Although a portion of the work created is aesthetically compelling, thought provoking, and expressive, designers are not creating art as a matter of self-expression. Clients want their visual communication problems solved, and they want creative professional who understand the true nature of the discipline.
A graphic design solution can persuade, inform, identify, motivate, enhance, organize, brand, rouse, locate, engage, and carry or convey many levels of meaning. A design solution can be so effective that it influences behavior: you may choose a particular brand because you are attracted to the design of its package, or you may volunteer after viewing a public service advertisement.
All graphic designers solve problems and generate ideas that take visual form.
Graphic designs are created for a specific audience; a message is intentionally designed, transmitted, and then receive by viewers. Graphic designers create graphics that transcend language barriers and impairments.
A graphic design solution expresses an idea in visual form. In combination, visuals and type are integrated to communicate messages and meaning to an audience. Regardless of the specific task, the graphic designer has two goals: to communicate a message to an audience, and to create a compelling design that will enhances the message.
