Posted: Jan 26, 2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 2,425 | Bookmark and Share

Graphic Design is a composition (lay out) of some elements which are shape, form, line, typography, color and image as well.

Graphic design communicates visually using text or images to present information, or deliver a message. The art of graphic design strives for a range of skills and crafts including typography, image development and page layout. Graphic design is applied in communication design. Like other forms of communication, graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created, and the products (designs) such as creative solutions, imagery and multimedia compositions. Graphic design is basically applied to static media, such as posters, flyers, magazines and brochures.

Things to be considered when you do Graphic Design

- Harmony

- Rhythm

- Balance

- Repetition

- Unity

- Color Scheme

There are varying degrees of graphic design. Graphic designer involvement may range from verbally communicated ideas, to visual rough drafts, to final production. In commercial art, client edits, technical preparation and mass production are usually required, but usually not considered to be within the scope of graphic design unless the client is also a graphic designer.
