My take on what Graphic Design is

Graphic design is many things, art and business, fun and hard work, subtle and bold, simple and complex. its hard to really put into words what graphic design truly is, sure there are many dictionary definitions on what it is, but they don’t do the craft any justice. Designing is something that takes an eye for what looks good and what the audience wants to see, to be able to take an illustrators work or even a designers own art mix it with some well placed typography, play with the colors and layout and hope to have a well designed logo, book cover, poster, website, etc. Graphic design is many things complicated or not but more often than not many don’t notice the work that goes into what they see everyday, design is everywhere.
