To me, graphic design is problem-solving communication through visual means.

When I mention graphic designer and see that stare, I usually laugh and say, “Not really, I’m a pilot.”

Graphic Design

Graphics are visual elements that are printed or digital, such as color, text (typography), shapes, and the spaces between them.

Design is the visual arrangement and aesthetics of these elements. A designer is a person trained or educated in the sensory and emotional values of visual elements and design.

Variations of graphic design aside from print or digital media are floral design, interior design, architectural design, landscape design.

Graphic Design is creating a concept for an idea or product and converting it to a visual representation to persuade people to buy that idea or product.

We went to a workshop for profiling a designer, and the facilitator asked us what graphic design is, and we “defined” it. Then he told us we had not defined it but merely given a list of tasks that a designer does.

Then I lectured part-time at a college, and my first assignment always was for the students to define graphic design, identity, image and communication.

For graphic design, it is the relay of information through various media to a specific audience to elicit a response.

A bit technical but I think it covers it.

I have little funny story. Someone asked what I do . . . I told him I’m a designer. You know what he asked? Ladies or gents? I was dumbfounded . . . he thought I’m a fashion designer!

Graphic design is something that conveys your message to the audience with long-lasting effects, as we are so similar to visual art.

Graphic design is about using imagination and thought to develop a concept of an idea to bring to life, and which must have communication to understand.

There are good ones and there are bad ones, but basically they are all designs.
