With 8 Years of Graphic Design Experience and a Advanced Graphic Design Diploma from Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology I like to say that I have a great Passion for Design. Even though it has not always been a full time paying job, Graphic Design has always been apart of my everyday life. GRAPHIC DESIGN IS: The art of communication, stylizing, and problem-solving
through the use of ty
pe, space, and image. The field is considered a subset
of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term
"graphic design" is used interchangeably with these due to overlapping
skills involved. Graphic designers use various methods to create and combine words, symbols, and images to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use a combination of typography, visual arts
and page layout techniques to produce a final result. Graphic design often refers
to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated. Common uses of graphic design include identity (logos and branding), publications (magazines, newspapers and books), print advertisements, posters, billboards, website graphics and elements, signs and product packaging. For example, a product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as images, shapes and color which unify the piece. Composition is one of the most important features of graphic design, especially when using pre-existing materials or diverse elements.
