Advertising today has become one of the most important processes in business. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition defines ‘advertising’ as ‘the activity of attracting public attention to a product or business, as by paid announcements in the print, broadcast, or electronic media.’ The definition encapsulates the major point of advertising very clearly. To sell a product or service you need to be in the eyes of the customer.
Advertising has two major jobs to perform – make people aware of the product and make them remember the product. The first step is done by designing an attractive advertising campaign but the second can only be assured by having a design that is easily remembered and recalled by your customers. Thus, a good graphic designer is necessary for the proper positioning of your product in the market and making sure that the customers go for it.

Designing of Logos
By: Angela Jenkins | 26/05/2009 | Web DesignLet me name some companies and tell me what images are conjured up by your mind. McDonald’s; the golden arc, right? What about if I say Apple; see the half eaten apple? And what about KFC; the genial, moustachioed and bearded Colonel pops up, doesn’t he? This simple exercise shows the value of having a recognised and popular logo. Having a logo or symbol that is recognised by the customers and is immediately linked to your product and service in their mind is a great positive for any company.
Corporate Graphic Design and Identity

For most people, their introduction will consist of their name, job, qualification, hometown, and various other attributes which would differ depending on the context and timing of the question.

The Design Process
By: Angela Jenkins | 13/05/2009 | Graphic DesignWhat exactly is the difference between advertising and design, you may ask. It is a very good question as the answer is not clear at a perfunctory glance. Designing usually looks like a step in the larger process of advertising. I would distinguish between the two by quoting a member of the Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA), “Advertising pushes the consumer towards the product but design brings the product to the customer.
