What are Graphic Designers doing.Graphic designers create visual objects to express ideas that inspire, educate and captivate customers, using computer software or by hand. For applications such as advertisements, brochures, magazines, and reports, they develop the overall layout and production design.

Graphic design is a purpose-based Art. It involves a creative and systematic plan to solve a problem or with the use of images, symbols or even words to achieve certain objectives. It is visual communication and the esthetic expression of concepts and ideas using different elements and tools of graphics.

There are two types of computer graphics: raster graphics, where each pixel is represented separately (as in a digital photograph), and vector graphics, where mathematical formulas are used to draw lines and shapes, which are then interpreted at the end of the viewer to create the graphics.

Graphics can be used to combine text and images to give a direct message. These graphics may include signs and posters that direct people around a building, or they may be used to tell people what to do or not to do in certain situations (such as hazard warnings or signs of safety warning).
