Description

Graphic design is the process of communicating visually using text and images to present information. Graphic design practice embraces a range of cognitive skills, aesthetics and crafts, including visual arts and page layout. Like other forms of design, graphic design often refers to both the designing by which the communication is created and the designs which are generated. Graphic designers often assemble together images, typography or motion graphics. A graphic designer creates the graphics primarily for published, printed or electronic media, such as brochures and advertising. They are also sometimes responsible for illustration and web design.
