Graphic design is the art of communication, stylizing, and
problem-solving through the use of type, space and image. 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. Graphic designers use various methods to create
and combine words, symbols, and images to create a visual representation of
ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use a combination of typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce a final result.
Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the
communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated.
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 is one of the most important features
of graphic design, especially when using pre-existing materials or diverse
elements
