The article, ”What is graphic design”, gave me a new perspective and understanding about graphic design. Graphic design uses visual and textual content to express ideas and experiences. I think graphic design is flexible and diverse after reading the article because the way of communicating design can be any forms. The purpose of design is varied. As well as the experience and the work can take place at any places any time.

My question to the author is that which one is more important between the visual effect and the content. It’s for sure that for a successful design, it cannot lose either one. However, I think the content, the idea that the designer wants to express is more important than the visual effect because graphic design uses visual content to express ideas. The purpose is to convey the designer’s idea.
