Graphic Design Explained

If you look up the word: “Graphic Design” in the Dictionary you get: ***the art or profession of visual communication that combines images, words, and ideas to convey information to produce a special effect!***






It is literally impossible NOT to be exposed to Graphic Design in our day to day lives, it is all around us in the form of:
Logos
Websites
Business Cards
Product Packaging
Advertisements
Brochures
Billboards
Magazines
Postcards
And so many more…


You can find Graphic Design elements in millions of products that we use on a daily basis.


When you think if it Graphic Design was started by cavemen in the caves of Lascaux. It has morphed into a vessel of massive advertisement used by the modern corporations to make it exciting for us to buy all the products we buy today. 


A funny question you may ask yourself about Graphic Design is: "Have I ever spent money on something I didn't need just because the packaging looked really cool?"
