Graphic design is a form of communication that conveys a specific message to specific audiences through the means of words and type, images and other graphic elements and layout. Graphic design is a mixture of art and business. Taking an artistic vision and applying it practically within a world of planning, client needs, budgets and materials. All graphic design employs the theories of art, but its main purpose is to be useful and functional.
A graphic designer, or graphic artist, effectively disseminates information in an attractive way that is easy for the audience to understand and has 2 linked goals: communicating a message to an audience and creating designs that have an impact.
The graphic designer is the liaison between the client, who wants to communicate an idea, and the audience, who may or may not be willing to receive it. Graphic designers through their visual work inform, sell or persuade audiences on behalf of their clients.
All graphic design begins with a message. First, the graphic designer and the client must discuss what the message is and the best way to communicate that message to the targeted audience. Depending on the medium involved (video, web, print, TV, etc.) the graphic designer will employ different design skills to help the client’s message stand out.
The artistic side of graphic design is only one aspect of the designer’s job. Depending on the size of the business or client the designer works for, they may be in charge of the project’s budget, editing and/or creating the text that goes with the design, photographing or drawing graphic elements or directly corresponding with the print shop and printer for the project.
