what is graphic design?

so what is graphic design? is it a drawing? is it a game? is it fun? does it make you think?

this poster seems to answer this question in the most simple fast and approachable way possible. it clearly shows how simple graphic design is and the most common concept of more modern designs of LESS IS MORE!

there is a simple use of typography that helps to lead your eye around the page beginning at the top of the page in the white writing. the black background helps to take your eye down the page to the first answer where you then look to the boxes where you get answer number two. the direction in which the boxes lead you to the final answer in the right hand corner. the simplicity is even lead on throughout the text as it is a sans serif font which is less for the eye to read , not as important but straight to the point.

i think more than answering the question of what is graphic design, this ad tells us what its not and what it shouldn't be mistakened for.

i dont really feel like any type of target market is intended, but more so a creative type of person. its a straight to the point simple design that grabs your attention with its effective hierarchy which starts with the large black section in the top left hand corner and the way in which it then leads your eye around the page.

while searching for images non the net i was drawn into this one for its simplicity. im definitely a fan for the less is more concept and lover of modern design.

see you sooon
