Many of the images and visual forms we see around us - on web pages, in print and TV ads, on packaging, posters, signs, stationery and books - are created by graphic designers.
Visual communication, or graphic design, is all about communicating a message by visual means. Everywhere you look, chances are a graphic designer has been involved in creating a visual message: from posters, album covers, magazine ads and newspapers, to packaging, menus and business logos – they are all created by graphic designers.
Graphic designers combine art and technology to communicate ideas. They work with a variety of tools, including images and typography, to create a unique, effective way of getting a message to the audience.
Graphic designers can expect to find a variety of employment opportunities, as most organisations require the services of a graphic designer at some point. Many graduates work for themselves or with other designers in a studio environment, while others may for commercial, government and educational organisations as part of a larger communications team.
