It is a different way of conveying your ideas and messages to your customer. Colorful and informative graphics catch users’ attention and leaves a long-lasting effect on users’ mind. In this world where people do not bother to read the whole article, it is a very smart move to convey ideas in a graphic form, in this way your message will reach more people in a much lesser time.

In the above paragraph, a few points about graphic designing are mentioned that need to be highlighted

• Graphic designs are colorful and informative. That means graphic designs have to be exciting and not boring. Colors definitely add excitement to anything. Another property of graphic designs which is mentioned is the attractive color combinations, information should also be used in the designed graphics. That is equally important because content matters a lot to provide value, especially for marketing purposes.

• It leaves a long-lasting effect on the audience. Research says that we are more likely to remember what we see than what we read or listen to. This means if your graphics have a smart design and required information then people will remember it and that means they will remember your brand.

• In this busy world if they an article of 1000 words on their social media application or an infographic which has attractive images with some information about an offer or a launch of a new fast food outlet, people will be 100% attracted towards the graphic design rather than the whole article. So if you are trying to engage a large audience for brand recognition then you should add graphic designing to your to-do list.

TYPES OF GRAPHIC DESIGN:

As we have given different examples of graphic design it shows that graphic design is a vast field with different types of applications.

1. Website Designing

Website designing plays a very important role in attracting the user. If the designs used in your website are not eye-catching then users will not bother to see the details of your website and visit the other website which looks more professional. A good website design includes the display of the website, templates with good color combinations and well-organized data, prominently written goals and strategies, etc.

2. User Experience (UX) Design

If I explain in the simplest words then user experience is the experience of the end user’s interaction with the product or service and the company. To explain it for better understanding let’s look at this digital example.

You visit a clothing brand website and place an order. It asks for your number, email, address, and the method of payment you choose. This is a smooth checkout process and user-friendly too. In this way, the website is not asking for unnecessary information. The company understands your needs which is a simple and fast checkout process and this is how it is designed.

3. Motion Graphics Design

We can say that it is a specific type of animation. People also say that it is animated graphic designs. The components of motion graphics are images, texts, and sound through which desired idea is explained. Special effects are used to bring these components to life.
