What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design is the methodology of visual communication, and problem solving through the use of type, space and image. It is the production of visual statements on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, pottery, computer screen, paper, stone or landscape.

Common uses of graphic design include identity (logos and branding), publications (magazines, newspapers and books), print advertisements, posters, billboards, website graphics and elements, signs and product packaging.
