Designing
Graphic
design is a creative process – most often involving a
client and a designer and usually completed in
conjunction with producers of form (i.e., printers,
programmers, signmakers, etc.) – undertaken in order to
convey a specific message (or messages) to a targeted
audience.
The term
"graphic design" can also refer to a number of artistic
and professional disciplines that focus on visual
communication and presentation.
The field
as a whole is also often referred to as Visual
Communication or Communication Design. Various methods
are used to create and combine words, symbols, and
images to create a visual representation of ideas and
messages.
A graphic
designer may use typography, visual arts and page layout
techniques to produce the final result.
Common uses of graphic design include:
-
Identity
(logos and branding),
-
Web
sites,
-
Publications (magazines, newspapers, and books),
-
Advertisements
-
Product packaging
For
example, a product package might include a logo or other
artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as
shapes and color which unify the piece.
Composition is one of the most important features of
graphic design, especially when using pre-existing
materials or diverse elements
