What is Graphic Design?

What: Graphic design is art with a purpose. The visual communication and expression of concepts and ideas is produced through various elements. Art.

 
Where: EVERYWHERE! Graphic design can be found everywhere: logos, websites, business cards, advertisements, book design, brochures, billboards, product packaging, posters, magazines newspapers, greeting cards! 


Why: I enjoy graphic design because it develops my creative abilities. There is always something new to learn or observe. It challenges me to keep up with trends in design, and often work on tight deadlines (even possibly for clients). There aren't many boundaries with graphic design. I can draw inspiration from just about anywhere, and transfer ideas to sketches, onto a computer, and manipulate the Adobe programs in order to achieve the desired effect. After discovering the world of graphic design, I can't go anywhere without noticing it.

  1. I like how you explained why you enjoyed graphic design and the steps of how you achieve projects for clients. I also agree that graphic design is everywhere...so much that many people do not even realize graphic design is on every product.

  2. I love the "art with a purpose". Graphic design can take the mundane and make it a waking moment. Looking forward to my shot of design expresso this year!
