What is Graphic Design?

Dictionary.com defines it best, "the art or profession of visual communication that combines images, words, and ideas to convey information to an audience, esp. to produce a specific effect." |

For years I've heard the argument (I think it was started by IT staff) that print designers can not design for the Web. I do not agree with this premise. Whether designing for print, outdoor, video, audio or the internet, the same principles apply.

Creativity is a natural talent from deep within. It can't be taught however, it can be realized and harnessed. Graphic design utilizes creative instincts along with the "other side of the brain" producing what I call "Art with a Purpose." I've seen many Graphic Artists that were meerly what we used to call "Paste-Up Artists" back in the days of rubber cement. They, along with typesetters, rubber cement, Rubylith and X-Acto knives have long been replaced with personal computers. |
