My opinion about what's meant graphics design.

For the last class the teacher gave us many dictionary for words in english. Now, the next assignments talking about definition of graphic design and how can we translate our own definitions.

For Britannica Concise Encyclopedia, graphic design it: "The art and profession of selecting and arranging visual elements — such as typography, images, symbols, and colours — to convey a message to an audience. Sometimes graphic design is called "visual communications." It is a collaborative discipline: writers produce words and photographers and illustrators create images that the designer incorporates into a complete visual message. Although graphic design has been practiced in various forms throughout history, it emerged as a specific profession during the job-specialization process that occurred in the late 19th century. Its evolution has been closely bound to developments in image making, typography, and reproduction processes. Prominent graphic designers include Jules Chéret, Piet Zwart, Paul Rand, Alexey Brodovitch, Milton Glaser, and David Carson."

In my opinion, graphics design is a way to interpret a message through graphic elements ( picture, images, text and color) for a public. However a graphic designer have the cuality to persuade the public to buy what you are trying to sell.
