Adobe InDesign

Graphic design is the art of visual communication and problem-solving, in order to effectively communicate with your audience through the use of text, images, and layout. Today’s graphic designers use a variety of tools including computer software, such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, to create digital designs for a range of purposes, such as product packaging or corporate logos.

Graphic design is also used in print work like magazines and newspapers. Graphic designers need advanced artistic skills, but they also need strong technical skills to make complex computer programs work for them. An interest in typography, page layout, and the principles of design is extremely useful when you study graphic design. If you have an aptitude for drawing or art, then a career in graphic design may be right for you.
