Graphic Design is above all but simply ARTS. It is all around us, explaining, and decorating, identifying and imposing meaning on the world. Graphic design can be found in everything we read, in the streets and the most interesting fact; it is on our body unconsciously. Designs are found on road, signs, advertisements, magazines, logos on t-shirts. Moreover, it is not just modern or capitalistic phenomenon as ancient Egyptians were very well conversed to Graphic Design.
Graphic Design carries on a numeral functions. It sorts, differentiates and distinguishes one company or organization or nation from another. It acts on our emotions and helps to shape how we feel about the world around us. Just Imagine! If Graphic Design was banned, what would have happened? There would be no written words, no newspapers, no magazines, no internet, and no science books to speak of and so on.
Fortunately, it does exist in our routine life as Morning Newspaper, on our commute to work and of course on the cover of books. It encompasses with logos, websites, business cards, advertisements, book design, brochures, product packaging, posters, magazine layout, newspaper layout and greetings cards.
