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 I think a lot of people don’t realize is that the work of a Graphic Designer is not as simple as it seems. It requires a lot of thought and patience. As the video said, designers would have to go back and forth on a certain design. When it comes to making the designs, it can’t just look aesthetically pleasing, it has to make sense to the target audience. What would be the point of something that looks nice but has no meaning to it? Design is found everywhere, it is apart of someone’s everyday life. It is found at your supermarket, phones, applications, even train stations. 

Many people assume that graphic designers sit around and design signs, books, and logos, but this is only scratching the surface of what they do. Graphic design is the ability to interpret and understand what the individual customer or company wants in their design. Once they have an understanding, it is then translated into the final product. Being a graphic designer is also about establishing communication and clarity with the other person so that the job can be achieved quickly and efficiently.

Graphic designers must understand that their product will be affecting an audience in some form. They must be precise and on point with their designs and the guidelines that the customer has brought them. They could be designing airplane emergency exit pamphlets, or they could be designing heavy-duty equipment operation manuals. With that, it is crucial that they style these products correctly, so the message is transparent and that there is no confusion for the audience nor the company when they are reading the pamphlets or the operation manuals. Graphic design is a large category with many different types talents and skills that fall underneath it. It is our job to educate ourselves more on what other artists do in the graphic design field. It is also our job to learn how to communicate with employers efficiently and clearly so that the final product will be not only be loved, but it will meet all the requirements that were expected.
