GRAPHIC design is the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences using visual and textual content. In other words, graphic design conveys ideas or messages visually.
These visuals can be artistic advertisements, eye-catching graphics on websites, or beautifully arranged spreads in magazines.
Graphic design is one of the fastest- growing creative disciplines and is always in high demand.
