Week 5 - by Lee Chen Yau


In week 5, Mr. Radzi Bedu was our lecturer and the topic was Graphic Design. Many people hear about graphic design but don’t really know what it entails. People look at things all day every day that have been designed by a graphic designer. What is Graphic Design? Graphic design is a creative process – most often involving a client and a designer and usually completed in conjunction with producers of form (i.e., printers, programmers, signmakers, etc.) – undertaken in order to convey a specific message (or messages) to a targeted audience. Graphic Design is a creative process that involves using shapes, colors, symbols, letters and images for an expression or to communicate a message.  Graphic design is the process in which many things are artistically designed to relay a message.

Graphic Design is an interdisciplinary, problem-solving activity which combines visual sensitivity with skill and knowledge in areas of communications, technology and business. Graphic design practitioners specialise in the structuring and organizing of visual information to aid communication and orientation. The graphic design process is a problem solving process, one that requires substantial creativity, innovation and technical expertise. An understanding of a client's product or service and goals, their competitors and the target audience is translated into a visual solution created from the manipulation, combination and utilisation of shape, color, imagery, typography and space.

Graphics Design informs, persuades, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention, provides pleasure.
