END OF FIRM-UP

Deepen
In communicating, if a person communicates using a language, then it is
termed as ‘verbal communication’. Radio-broadcast and loudspeaker
announcements are very good examples of verbal communication. But if someone
does not use a language and uses some other medium to communicate then it is
called ‘non-verbal communication’.

Non-verbal communication takes place through visual images, logos,


newspaper advertisements as well as other media such as music, dance, body
gestures or acting. Films, television, theater, animation, multimedia and the
internet are some of the examples where verbal as well as non-verbal mediums of
communication are successfully combined.

Among non-verbal medium of communication, visual media is the most


widely used media. Graphic design deals mainly with visual communication.
Contemporary graphic design practice has been engaged in digital technology also.
Today most graphic designers are working in new areas, new media, interaction
design, information architecture and graphical user interface (GUI) design.

Graphic Design Makes Things Intelligible

You get up on the bed and see newspaper headlines (graphic design!).

You have breakfast and you see a ‘logo’ on the milk pack (once again graphic
design!) You drive a bike and see the ‘traffic signs’ on the road! (graphic design).

You open your computer and click on the ‘icon’ (graphic design again).

... And it goes on...

Graphic design has merged with our lifestyle in a big way. From the moment
we get up in the morning till the time we go to sleep in the night, we are
surrounded by graphic designs.

Graphic Design Makes Things Intelligible

We wake up in the morning and see the time in the clock. Readability of
numbers, color of the dial, everything has an impact on us. Then we want
information and read a newspaper. News flows through all the pages of a
newspaper with appropriate attention to text, type sizes and layout.

Figure 1.1: Books, magazines and newspaper have text and visuals.

Can you imagine a newspaper with text scattered everywhere without any
columns or layouts? Graphic design makes understanding simpler, organized and
better. Graphic design has always contributed and impacted society in a
constructive way by helping people to create a clear and imaginative visual
communication.

It helps to relate tendencies of people among each other, with culture,


economics and social lives and thus creating awareness about environment and
society. Can you imagine if an instruction booklet is not provided how will you
operate a new device?

Graphic Design Provides Safety

You step out of your house and see so many graphic images around you — a
poster on the nearby wall, bill board and neon signs on the nearby shop, and many
other signages and symbols. Do you know how many accidents will take place if the
road signage does not exist?

Figure 1.2: Traffic symbols should also have their meanings.


Road signs provide information to follow

Graphic Design and Identity

It is evident that human beings have been relating to forms and symbols
from primitive times and it helped them build up association and identity. From
earlier times people are using flags to exhibit their identity.

A flag is a piece of cloth, often flown from a pole or mast, generally used as a
symbolic tool for signaling or identification. This was especially used where
communication was difficult otherwise and still are used for signaling by railways,
ships, even on airport runways including project, institution and national identity.

National flags are patriotic symbols and have colors with varied wide-ranging
interpretations. Many national flags and other flags have symbolic designs,
reference or patterns.

Figure 1.3: Some flags of different countries.

Logos are another form of identity. We find ourselves surrounded by different


logos, symbols and brands. Graphic designs have a unique ability to sell a product
or idea through effective visual communications. It is widely used in designing
company identity using logos, text and color. Branding has increasingly become
important in the corporate sector and industry. When you go to market, you have
various choices available for buying a product but there will be a few which will
attract your attention, because of its attractive design and packaging. Packaging
design is a part of graphic design which also has an important role in identification.

Figure 1.4: Logos of different international organizations.

Graphic Design Expresses and Informs

Graphics are used in textbooks of all subjects and particularly in geography,


science, language, history and mathematics to illustrate theories and concepts.
Common examples of graphics in books are maps and diagrams. Graphic design is
also used in designing of educational materials to make the instructional material
more accessible, interesting and more easily understandable.

Figure 1.5: Institutional and mathematical signs.

Graphic design combined with visual communication with user interaction


makes information seeking a fascinating experience through aesthetically designed
interactive websites. Websites create both the look and feel and enhance online
experience to a web user. Every page of a website is full of icons. You click an icon
in search of information and a whole world of information opens up in front of you.
The further you search the more information you get.
