Graphic design is the process of visual communication, through the use of typefaces, images and color, as well as a wide variety of other graphic elements. Since the first invention of writing, people have sought to express themselves in different ways. The written word was not always enough to convey their message. For example, in order to make their thoughts tangible to others in a way that would be understandable and visually stimulating, people turned to drawing pictures on cave walls. In this sense, graphic design is an ancient form of expression that has been carried over into modern times.

Graphic design is a form of art that uses visual communication to convey information and messages. Graphic designers use different materials such as pencils, pens, paper, ink and digital tools such as computer software to create their designs. Graphic designers can work with different media like print, television or billboards which requires different skillsets. They must be able to manage many details at once while still keeping an eye on the big picture. These professionals are also responsible for making sure that all of their designs are perfect before they present them to their clients.
