Week 5 - Graphic Design


During lecture this week, our guest lecturer, Mr Radzi Bedu talk about graphic design. What is graphic design?  I asked a friend of mine from FOM, from his point of view he understands that graphic design is all about designing picture to look good. Part of it was a little bit true. Though making a good picture to look nice n beautiful, there are more to the term of ‘graphic design’.

From what we have learnt from a simple lecture by Mr Radzi, graphic design is a way of people to communicate and a good graphic designer would find a way to convey their messages through pictures, illustration and images. A proper definition of graphic design would be visual communication. 

People from the early ages learnt to communicate with their surroundings and graphic design has brought a whole new meaning to communication. To conclude the lecture, a good graphic design manage to make people understand the message behind all the graphics, and if it work means that the design is really good. To be a good graphic designer I learnt that these 4 things are really important. AIDA!
