The article helps me to understand what roles graphic designs play in this world as well as how designers communicate with audience using different tools of graphic design. The article reminds me that visual communication are really powerful as it exists all around us and affect every aspect of our perception. According to the article, there are two different type of graphic design in terms of it tool, image-based design and type-based design, and designers often combine them to communicate a client’s message to an audience. Personally, I’ve been only focusing on image when I think of graphic design and didn’t have enough knowledge of typography. From the article, I’ve learned that type-based design has such numerous precious options.

One thing I would like to ask the author about is the use of colors in graphic design. In my opinion, coloring might be the most difficult and important thing in all the design, whether it is image-based or type-based, even for a symbol and a logo. So I want to know how designers would decide the color of design and how much color could affect design. I believe designers might conduct enough research into each color’s characteristics before they use the color because it could change the audience’s perception either positively or negatively.
