What is Graphic Design?

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design started in the caveman era. Then way later in the future jumped into the first cartoons like first Mickey Mouse Animations. Now in the present it is used in Blogs, Posters, Cards, and other things. It follows first with thinking of ideas and sketching. Then creating your art creation. After revise your work and put on the finishing touches. For me I know that a graphic designer takes time and a slow process but good flow of steps in making my own things and that;s what I think of graphic design.

My Info graphics

How to Tie a Tie

Summary:

For my Info graphic I did How to Tie a Tie. I chose this as my info graphic because I didn't even know how to tie a tie, so I found the information and set up each step to make a simple techinque called the Four in Hand Knot. Then I made some sketches Typography, Image based, and Hand drawn. I worked on my Image based poster which took some editing. After I worked on my Typography poster that was showing the bright red side of the tie to tell about the steps and dark red side for not as important but still good to know the kind of knot types. I learned that to show what is important you need to have the info in bright big font and in bold to show what is more interesting to hear than the other information that is less important to read. I made the steps more visible and increased the size of the font and made the tie instead of stripes as I had it. Is now half bright red and dark red, the bright red showing steps of How to Tie a Tie in white big font. Next time I will make it where what's important easier to tell on a poster. I would go with my own creative style and just tweak my style to where it is better with the changes instead of doing the same thing.  I know that I will do better on next project that I get because I know some new things to add to what I like to do.
