The creative process of graphic design basically involves a graphic designer who will work with companies such as a sign maker, printing companies, web builders to provide a form of visual design to convey a specific message/advert.
Before the introduction of computers graphic designers would be putting pen/paint brush to paper but with modern technology the possibilities for graphic design are endless. By using a computer for graphic design you can research multiple ideas very quick and the detail can be a lot more precise that what you would get by putting your design down on paper.
Graphic design can also be known as ‘visual communication’ and also ‘communication design’.
The most common places where you would find examples of graphic design are on websites, company logos/branding, newspapers and magazines, packaging and advertisements.
Rapid production from the computer allows many designers to explore multiple ideas quickly with more detail than what could be achieved by traditional hand-rendering or paste-up on paper, moving the designer through the creative process more quickly. However, being faced with limitless choices does not help isolate the best design solution and can lead to endless iterations with no clear design outcome.
