You walk in Times Square and all you see are huge billboard with pictures and maybe a few words. The colors making every advertisement look amazing and catching everyones eyes. These are the things that I think about as I read “What is Graphic Design?” This article says that “Graphic design is a creative process that combines art and technology to communicate ideas” which is exactly what every advertisement in the most touristy area in New York City does on a daily basis. This article also makes me visualize and understand how much work is put into the simplest and the most creative of advertisements. There is a thought process, if there should be words, what picture will be used or if the designer is working on a new idea then what will be a new logo. NO good advertisement can be created over night.

One question I would ask the author if I could would be is, how do you know what type faces fit well with one another for an add, or in other words, how do graphic designers know that  two or three type faces look good together on the same advertisement? I feel that it may have to do with the shape of the letters, but I am really not sure and would really like to learn to do this.
