  • “The Design Informants of Information Graphics”Design Informants are meticulous, detailed oriented people. When it comes to laying out information on the canvas, they have organizational skills in their blood. They are very complex and know how to present vital information visually to the target audience. Their task is to make the information flexible and easy to read. Their color palette is usually matched with meanings or codes. These designers are mostly illustrators and believe the weights of stroke marks can communicate various ideas and feelings to the reader. “The Public Designer of Publications” These types of designers design for the public. They within newspapers, books and magazines — circulated written documents. So what’s their specialty? Words, words, words! Which ultimately means typography; choosing the right fonts for the article. This kind of design involves a lot of body copy and knowledge of print production processes is a must. DPI’s and CMYK’s are their allies. Their greatest skills are kerning and leading

    "The Simple Brander" Brand designers love identifying their client. They love to take designated colors and logos and expand their reach to stationary and marketing materials, creating a presence for their clients. They believe solely in positive and negative areas and think minimalism is the best solution to any design problem. The "less is more" motto is their go-to. And, they have the most intricate creative process. The development of logos involves much sketching and experimentation. Their client's Graphic Standards Manual is their BIBLE. Color theory and symbolism are their assistants in creating a logo and brand. Adobe Illustrator is their forte. Although there are separate categories and specialties within the graphic design industry, we must all mastered having an eye for design. Even though we may have our differences, all graphic designers ( no matter shape or size) share the same passion: to communicate visually!

  • What Is Graphic Design?
  • Graphic design combines the creativity and formal characteristics of fine art with the audience-centered approach of marketing to create effective visual communication. Unlike fine art, it is always in the service of the client’s needs.
  • To do this, designers analyze data about the intended audience, such as the audience’s class, gender, education, buying habits, personality traits, favorite magazines and television shows, and so on.

  • articles & reports
  • Designers take that demographic and psychographic information and look at what that audience sees. For instance, if the intended audience loves Martha Stewart, designers look at Martha Stewart magazines, ads, and products to analyze their visual vocabulary (color, theme, shape, typeface, composition).
  • Design based in this understanding of the intended audience is highly successful. Trying to design without it is like trying to communicate without knowing the language of the listener.
  • In addition to a broad grounding in fine art, marketing, and creativity, graphic designers also build an extensive body of technical knowledge regarding paper stocks, printing inks, special processes such as foil-stamping or embossing, printing processes and limitations, digital file preparation, quality control, and troubleshooting. Graphic design encompasses any product that’s “ink-on-paper” (brochures, logos, book jackets, billboards, packaging, etc). Each medium has its own technical considerations that designers must master in order to achieve their intended effect.
