What is Graphic Design?

     To me graphic design is lots of things if not almost everything. It deals with both communication and function. Graphic design gives our life direction and order in an more interesting fashion. You see design in the things you use every day everything from the pencil or cup in your hand to the posters, signs, buildings, etc. These are different kinds of design but they all still consist the variables which make up a design; craft which is given a use or function or simply beauty. If somebody made it and it came from an original  idea it is a design in some way.
