Graphic design is the process of visual communication, and problem solving through the use of type, space, and image.
Contents
Description
The field is considered a subset of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term "graphic design" is used interchangeably with these due to overlapping skills involved.
Methods
Graphic designers use various methods to create and combine words, symbols, and images to create a visual representation of ideas and messages.
Techniques
A graphic designer may use a combination of typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce a final result.
Process and products
Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated.
Uses
Common uses of graphic design include:
- Identity (logos and branding)
- Publications (magazines, newspapers and books)
- Print advertisements
- Posters
- Billboards
- Website graphics and elements
- Signs and product packaging
For example, a product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as images, shapes and color which unify the piece.
Composition
Composition is one of the most important features of graphic design, especially when using pre-existing materials or diverse elements.
