What is Graphic Design?

What is graphic design?

Graphic design is the manipulation of letters, numbers, colors, shapes and pictures to create a visually appealing images. This could include logos, fonts, change in color, change in orientation, and different shapes to create something attractive.

When I think graphic design, I think of Courthouse Square downtown. The building is entirely grey, white white trim, and black labels. It's very simple, and almost too plain, but it has just enough flavor in its simplicity to stand out from all the other buildings. I also think of G-Eazy's album covers and tour announcements, as he uses strictly simple typefaces and black and white writing to spread his own style. I usually think of repeating patterns and simplicity, like tessellating triangles or different colored squares.
