In a Nutshell
Graphic design is the process of visual communication and problem-solving through the use of typography, space, imagery and colour,
and then to effectively convey the information across different platforms and media to an audience.
This can take the form of brand identity, advertising (traditional & digital), UX/UI, website design, surface graphics, packaging, apparel
and editorial design.
