Week 5: What is Graphic Design?



Mr. Radzi Bedu was the guest of this week, topic was talk about "Graphic Design" So... What is graphic design?

Graphic design is a creative process that combines art and technology to communicated ideas. Which are using drawn, painted, photographed, or computer-generated images (pictures).

Graphic design is all surrounding us. We can't deny that it became a part of our daily life. From humble things like gum wrappers to huge things like billboards to the T-shirt you're wearing, graphic design informs, persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides pleasure.

Why we have to do graphic design?
Suppose you want to announce or sell something, amuse or persuade someone, explain a complicated system or demonstrate a process. In other words, you have a message you want to communicate. How do you “send” it? You could tell people one by one or broadcast by radio or loudspeaker. That's verbal communication. But if you use any visual medium at all-if you make a poster; type a letter; create a business logo, a magazine ad, or an album cover; even make a computer printout-you are using a form of visual communication called graphic design.
