Graphic design is a combination of symbols, words and pictures that are combined

into a single message. Its a communicative function where its elements can be

visually shown, Philip B. Meggs stated, an American famous graphic designer. Alia

Rady a graphic designer, who graduated from the American University in Cairo,

claims that:

RADY: Its a means of communication in a form like without it you would not know

for example that this is if you ever entered like a, for example here in our company we

do like a newspaper its an online newspaper without the covers we do as graphic

designers these kind of online readings people would not actually be able to read

them. (1:31)

Rady also stated that,

When you integrate something like in a visual form its so different in a sense that

people can imagine things or like a message can be kind of get stuck in their head.

Philip B. Meggs also claims that graphic designers use signs as a powerful

source of communication where elemental forms can give meaning

to a matter.

RADY: Graphic design is like a its integrated in everyones life like for example

whenever you enter a place like a restaurant or a caf you always find something that

has to do with that. We as graphic designers do these things no matter how simple or

trivial they may look like but they kind of like take a lot of time and importance and

we kind of like pay attention to these kind of details a lot. (1:00)
