What a graphic designer does? (video)
When I was a junior in high school, they would ask me what I wanted to be. I wasn’t sure but then I was interested in graphic design. I was unsure what Graphic design does so I did some research and watched a girl youtube channel in which she’s a freelance graphic designer and she explains everything. I would always be into art and whenever I see logos and design I always thought about how they created those logos and design. I always considered graphic designers to do logos and make projects for companies. Graphic design is more than making logos; they create concepts by hand and digital to communicate or to send a message. From my prior experience, I helped someone create his new business logo and his website where he was new and he wanted people to go to his new boxing gym.
In the video “What is graphic design … what a graphic designer does from Design Council.” It told me very explicit details about what a graphic designer does. Neville Brody told us about what assets we need in order to make a good product or make our work good. Typography is very important where that’s the whole point. He also says how the color and the size could change the feeling.
Question: How do graphic designers get so many ideas and What does a good graphic designer do?
