Graphics are the production of visual statements on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, pottery, computer screen, paper, stone or landscape. It includes everything that relates to creation of signs, charts, logos, graphs, drawings, line art, symbols, geometric designs and so on. Graphic design is the art or profession of combining text, pictures, and ideas in advertisements, publication, or website. At its widest definition, it therefore includes the whole history art, although painting and other aspects of the subject are more usually treated as art history

 Evolution of Graphic Design!   

As we know Advertising is a form of marketing communication used to encourage, persuade audience, viewers, readers, and listeners. Advertising wasn’t always the same, it changed over time. In ancient times men drew figures of animals in caves, Egyptians used papyrus to make sales messages and wall posters. They used pyramid engravings to convey messages. Wall or rock painting for commercial advertising is another manifestation of ancient ad.form

        

Drawing of horses in the Chauvet cave.                                                  The Papyrus of anii is a version of the Book of the dead for the Scribe Ani.

In the last centuries advertising increased , and its messages are usually viewed from newspapers, magazines, Tv advertisements. Radio adv, websites text messages. Another area where graphic design has gained high prominence is digital media. Modern computers have grown so fast developed into media, and has opened doors for artists, designers, writers etc. Ad posters became a special type of graphic art in modern age used for advertising and announcements, purposes. Graphic designers create visual concepts; develop idea, direction and format of advertising.

Designers of webs create directions, ideas and website formats. Production artists complete any given design and advertising, then prepare the files for printing. Photographers use artistic vision, and through the photos the communicate messages. Art directors handle responsibility that includes account executive while establishing advertising and interacting with the copywriter and client. Creative directors as graphic designers have years of experience, they are responsible for the direction of exciting client work and all creative work and also for the administration.
