The Process of Graphic Design

According to “The Progress Of Graphic Design” I learned that graphic designer often starts with questioning themselves with what brief or what is the main point is this pieces is about.But before that the designer also have to consider who is the audience that will look at their piece. There is also some designer who just do what the client ask them to do. In addition, one of the method to help designer to create work they uses scenario planning which comes from interaction design.

What is graphic design?

After watching the video I understand that a graphic design is like a books and record covers, and it contains many different facets like forms of architecture. And one of the most important thing in graphic design is to communicates and to understand the materials that they are trying to communicate with, then create something unique and appropriate from it . There are any things that are being design by graphic designer such as a web, sign,logos, airport, buildings, or etc.

What a Graphic Designer Does

In contrast to the video, I had found some similar knowledge and personal experience I had before. For example, when designing a poster or even a PowerPoint you have to think about what kind of typeface and imagery should be used, what kind of colors, size should be used, or where should you place them to make your project look better. 

According to the video about 3:17, I don’t totally agree with what he was saying that larger agencies introduced the idea of absolute specialist become fragmented and that isn’t a good skill to be used. Although, some of the people who just “do things” but I think that all people learned in all different way or treat things in a different ways there may be people who felt like doing in an absolute specialist way.  

 After watching the video, I started to wonder how did the first graphic designer come up with the idea of designing something?
