"Graphic design is a form of
communicating
visually
using text and/or images to present information, or
promote a message. The art of
graphic
design
embraces a range of cognitive skills and crafts including
typography,image
development and
page layout. Graphic design is applied in
communication design and
fine art.
Like other
forms of communication, graphic design often refers to both the process
(designing) by which the communication is
created, and the products (designs) such as creative solutions,
imagery and
multimedia compositions. Graphic design
is traditionally applied to static
media, such
as books, magazines and brochures. Additionally, since the advent of
computers, graphic design is utilized in
electronic media - often referred to as
interactive design, or multimedia
design."
