The article explains what graphic design is. Even though we may not realize how important graphic design is, graphic design is often influencing our decisions each day. The article explains that there are image-based design and type-based design. The image-based design would be a way to represent an idea through images, such as photography, drawing, and others. The type-based design would be a way to represent an idea through words. The two designs are used daily in our lives to present and convey message to us.

My question to the author would be, “what would be a better communication to convey message? Visual or Verbal?” The author might answer the question as “Visual is better communication” The author might answer that way because the author is graphic designer. I believe that a graphic design might be better communication than verbal communication because I believe in that saying “a picture is worth a thousand words.” If the visual communication if powerful enough, I believe that it would convey more message than verbal communication.
