What is Graphic Design?

• Graphic design is a form of communication using text and/or images to present information. The art of graphic design embraces a range of mental skills (e.g. imagination, creativity, visualization) and crafts including lettering (e.g. typography, calligraphy), image development (e.g. photography, illustration) and page layout. Graphic design is applied in communication design (e.g. advertising, presentation, education) and fine art.
