Graphic Design (English: Graphic Design), also known as graphic design, generally refers to the visual
representation of information through the creation and combination of various symbols, pictures and
text, and can refer to the process of production (design), and the final finished work. For example, a
product's packaging may contain logos or other images, organized text, and purely visual design
considerations (eg, geometric shapes, colors).

Composition is one of the most important elements in graphic design. A complete composition allows
different visual materials to coexist harmoniously. Related technologies include typography, visual arts,
lay out design, etc.
Common graphic designs include magazines, advertisements, product packaging, and web design.

The history of graphic design spans from the ancient caves of Lascaux to the blinding neon lights of
modern Ginza. Throughout this long history, and the rapid development of visual communication in the
twentieth century, the lines between advertising art, graphic design and fine art have occasionally
blurred.
Like these illustrations produced by the National Park Service, the images are often function-oriented
and anonymous.

But these projects all share the same elements, theories, principles, application methods, language, and
sometimes the same audience. In advertising art, the ultimate goal is to sell products and services. In
visual design, "the key is to organize all kinds of information into order, to combine different ideas, to
express and feel the artificial objects that record human experience"

the early days

The Lascaux cave paintings dating to around 14,000 BC and the birth of a written language in the 3rd to
4th millennium BC are important milestones in the history of graphic design. It is also very important for
related fields based on graphic design.

invention of printing

Main article: Printing

During the Tang Dynasty in China (618-906), carved wooden boards were used to print patterns on
textiles and subsequently Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist scriptures, printed in 868, are the earliest
known printed books. In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), due to the invention of movable type printing,
scrolls and books can easily print more characters, which made books widely popular[3].

In 1450, Gutenberg's movable type printing technology made books widely available in Europe. The book
structure developed by Aldus Manutius became the basis of Western publishing design. The graphic
design of this era is called humanism (Humanist) or old style (Old Style)

The turning point and development of graphic design

In the late nineteenth century Europe, especially England, began to separate graphic design from the
field of fine art. Piet Mondrian is known as the father of graphic design. He was an artist, but his use of
grids inspired the modern grid system used in advertising, print and web layout today [4].

In 1849, Henry Cole became an important figure in the education of graphic design in the United
Kingdom. He communicated the importance of design to the government in his Journal of Design and
Manufacturing. He organized the International Industry Fair to celebrate contemporary industrial
technology and Victorian design.

Several books published between 1892 and 1896 by William Morris' Kelmscott Press are regarded as the
most important graphic design products of the Arts and Crafts movement, and these books have a very
refined Visual style, and marketing to affluent people, also brings considerable profits to publishers.
Morris proved that there was a commercial market for graphic design and helped to separate graphic
design from the manufacturing industry and the fine arts. Kelmscott's work features a historic style. This
style became the first major response to the immutable form of graphic design at the time. Morris and
other works of the Private press movement directly influenced the subsequent Art Nouveau movement,
and indirectly contributed to the rapid development of graphic design in the early twentieth century[4].

Modern graphic design in mainland China was established in the "Graphic Design in China" exhibition
held in Shenzhen in 1992. This exhibition was curated by Wang Xu, Chen Shaohua, Wang Yuefei and
others. Later, due to China's economic development, graphic design entered the commercial field in
China at the beginning of the 21st century. The cutting-edge cities represented by Shenzhen became
more mature in design and business practice, and produced many companies with international design
standards.

Production artist is considered a skill-biased entry job in the creative industries. This title comes from
advertising agency, which refers to the job that handles the pre-press related to printing. People in this
role usually aim to become graphic designers or art directors, and thus perform a trainee or
apprenticeship phase similar to the above two positions for graphic designers. Executive Artists work
alongside designers and art directors to execute (make) the designs they plan. Unlike a designer, an
executive artist lacks the opportunity to combine creativity and work-related design. While this position
may be viewed as "low-skilled" "labourer", some works require a level of expertise comparable to
advanced computer programming.

what is graphic design

When it comes to graphic design, there must be a misunderstanding among many people. Graphic

posters. In fact, graphic design is more about using graphic elements to solve or express practical
problems, rather than simple two-dimensional space design.
