Where is Graphic Design?
Dictionary.com defines graphic design as “the
art or profession of visual communication that
combines images, words, and ideas to convey
information to an audience.” A graphic designer
is responsible for arranging and using elements
on different types of media (such as a poster, a
package or a website), most likely with the use
of a
graphics software program such as Adobe
Illustrator,
Photoshop or InDesign. These elements
include:
- Photos
- Illustrations
- Type
- Shapes
- Color
- Texture
Graphic design is all around us. It is in our morning paper, on our commute to work, and on the cover of our favorite books.
