Many tend to only think of graphic designing as just designing symbols and logos. However, this article taught me that there is more than the physical aspect of designing blogs, logos, apps, etc. In this fast pace society, it is about creating an experience for the consumers. The advancement in technology has helped with this aspect by opening up new areas of designing as well as adding a new factor, which is being able to respond to the actions of the viewer.

Design and advertising go hand in hand when trying to succeed in persuading consumers to invest in an item. Therefore, there is an element of manipulation that must be considered when designing graphics. Where is the best place to start in deciding what would be the most persuading to the public? I think the answer to that question is analyzing the specific society you are targeting. Once you see reoccurring themes in that particular society you can then start there and then incorporate your own ideas.
