Graphic design is a visual medium that involves combining images, words, designs and ideas to create graphical images. Graphic design images have various forms of delivery, including print, web, and even integrated into video. Graphic Design is a broad term that can include various traditional forms of visual art, including drawing, painting, collage, among others. In addition to traditional visual art forms, contemporary graphic design has become a highly digital medium; it is very typical for professional graphic designers to use computers, software, and peripheral devices made for graphic design. One such program, Adobe Photoshop, is virtually an industry standard, with a reputation for being the best image editing tool available. Many professional graphic designers also use Adobe Illustrator, a program that works with a special kind of images called vector images.
Professional graphic design is used in many industries, notably advertising, web design, video game graphics, and print media such as magazines and other periodicals. Graphic design has become a crucial part of branding and marketing, making it an indispensable element for creating product awareness and securing its place in media and culture.
