Last week after watching the video the question I had was: “Aside from direction and collaboration with the client, how do graphic designers, who design well, land on that mood?” I believe this video answered my question perfectly. The first step in solving what the graphic designer has been tasked with is asking “who is my audience?”, and from there the whole design process must be user-centered. When they ask does a design feel right, the answer can’t be from the client’s point of view alone because they are not the only one to interact with it. I’m sure being the middleman can be stressful, but also equally rewarding when the graphic designer bridges the gap by successfully expressing the client’s message.

What is Graphic Design
Graphic design is about visually communicating a message. Not only do graphic designers have the responsibility to understand what their client is trying to communicate, they also “have a responsibility to the people that will live with that communication.” This part of the video stood out to me. Whether it is a poster, a book cover or product packaging the designer has to ask themselves how it would affect the user’s life. I agree with speaker who said we don’t realize how much we subconsciously interact with designs that bring ease or pleasure into our lives.
After watching, I thought of some of my personal interactions like MTA subway posters that I was quickly able to decipher the information because of the imagery and icons. Another example was when I was at Target buying new hair products and I decided to try a new line of products called Emerge. Thinking back, I decided to give it a try because of the price point, but admittedly it was the bright packaging and geometrical pattern that first caught my eye. I am definitely guilty of choosing hair products not only for their content but also how it will look on my shelf. In the MTA poster example the designer is able to quickly communicate subway policies or changes through the images. With the hair product packaging, the design subconsciously brought me pleasure which added to the value of the product for me.

Next, the ideas that the designer would consider the tops would show to the clients for taking advice to revise. Afterward, the production could show to the audience.

Graphic Designer does more than I thought while I was watching the video. We can see it everywhere in our life. Graphic design is visual art that conveys and communicate a message or the content of the product to specific audiences through designing book covers, posters, web sites, and magazine, etc. Designers may get a concept from the client and discuss more information with them. They must be recognized by their materials as well and solve the problems. And make a decent and unique design to catch the audiences’ eyes, make sure that the correct information is well conveyed.
The Process: Response
I have preferred the more concrete definitions in my responses to the previous video topics but on “process” I feel a more loose approach is needed. In the video Andrew Stevens left it simply at “does it feel right” and I think the design process more or less boils down to that. The only overlapping element seemingly from those speaking in the clip is that a comprehensive understanding of what your designing for is required. So certainly an intense research phase is in order, but after that, however one arrives at the solution to their design problem is fair game.
What is Graphic Design: Response
In the video, Quentin Newark had a perfectly concise reply to the given question. He stated, “Graphic Design is communication and it communicates through the combination of image and words”. Communication is as bare-bones a definition of design as you are going to get. I think this definition operates well. If a design fails to communicate as intended, it no longer seems designed.
The Process Of Graphic Design
The process of Graphic design may be difficult and probably stressful. Some graphic designers will do anything what the client ask them to do. The most important task when starting a new project is know what you going to do and who are you targeting to. The client will give you a brief overview and expectations. The client may ask to create a logo, create a publication or create a website. When brainstorming design ideas you should know how to use different elements that can stick to the message. Design has constraints if theres a budget or what colors or what size they should use. You should starts doing sketches with a pencil and a paper before doing it on the computer. After finishing your work you can have feedbacks about your work. Having feedback is helpful where you can see what improvements you need to make.
