Graphic designing



The historical start of Graphic Design began with the birth of the first written language in the 3rd or 4th millennium BC.   Also, paintings found in Lascaux caves of 14,000 BC. Another significant time in history was the start of printing during the time between 4th to 7th century A.D.   These times have all contributed and influenced to our modern day advances in graphic design.Graphic design is a creative process, one most often involving a client and a designer, and traditionally completed in conjunction with producers of form (printers, sign makers, etc.). In the 21st century, however, graphic design may be applied directly to websites, eliminating the need for an intermediary.Graphic design is the process and art of combining text and graphics and communicating an effective message in the design of logos, graphics, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and any other type of visual communication. Today's graphic designers often use desktop publishing software and techniques to achieve their goals." Graphic design is all around us. It is in our morning paper, on our commute to work, and on the cover of our favorite books. The most common forms include:LogosWebsitesBusiness CardsAdvertisementsBook DesignBrochuresBillboardsProduct PackagingPostersMagazine LayoutNewspaper LayoutGreeting Cards.A graphic design project may involve the stylization and presentation of existing text and either preexisting imagery or images developed by the graphic designer. For example, a newspaper story begins with the journalists and photojournalists and then becomes the graphic designer's job to organize the page into a reasonable layout and determine if any other graphic elements should be required. In a magazine article or advertisement, often the graphic designer or art director will commission photographers or illustrators to create original pieces just to be incorporated into the design layout. Or the designer may utilize stock imagery or photography.Graphic design is a popular art and a practical art, an applied art and an ancient art. Simply put, it is the art of visualizing ideas.”
