What is Graphic Design ?

What I thought about this that Graphic Design as more to what people think. It could be that people are not interested in graphic design or because they do not know what goes behind all the design. Graphic Design has a lot to do creatively and thought into the design they are making and so much more. Each design has its own creative way and has its own meaning to it. How the design has to communicate with the images and words so the person seeing it can understand the design. Graphic Designers also have to understand what kind of design they are trying to create and has to have a meaning behind to the design.

What A Graphic Designer Does

From my personal experience I can related to was in the video it said “You are having to consider the whole but then focus on detailed aspects of the language or the word or the piece of text that you are trying to articulate and communicate.” This section of the video I can relate to because I have taken Journalism class in High School. In this class my classmates and I had to create a newspaper for the whole school. We would get sections on what the group had to work on and we would have to collaborate how the newspaper would come out and think what kind of design and fonts would be used in the newspaper. We would have to think creatively and how it would attract the students to read the newspaper and what kind of information was put in.

Some people would find typography easy then others. I find it a little hard since it has to go with what the design is being created. Others find it easy and know what design they are going to create. When they finish what is being created they ask for feedback but it can be hard on the person because they took their time and effort on it and the person tells them they need to make some changes because it is not the way they want the work to be. People are taught differently and have their ways in creating their design, so the person defends on their work and explains why the person created their design a certain way.

How do graphic designers deal with people criticizing their design when someone oppose and wants their work to be a certain way?
