Where is Graphic Design found?

Posted on 20 March 2009 by admin

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.

Graphic Design

Graphic Design is inconsequential, ultimately decorative; a question merely of picking one typeface or color rather than another would work just as well. Graphic Design performs a number of functions like arranging visual elements such as typography, images, symbols and colors to convey message globally in particular. Sometimes it is also called visual communications with a collaborative discipline comprises with writers produce words, photographers and illustrators which create images that the designer incorporates into a complete visual message.

Although graphic design has been practiced in various forms throughout history, it emerged as an explicit profession during the job-specialization development that occurred in the late 19th century. Its evolution has been closely bound to developments in image making, typography, and reproduction processes.
