Design help center
This website has been created in order to help you understand the concept and uses of design. Graphic design is a discipline that must be carefully studied in order to maximize the results and minimize the margin of error, since the creation and arrangement of visual media is affected by several factors. Our aim is to inform the target about the concept of graphic design, how it works and which are the Principles and Elements of design.
We are aimed at informing you about the demand for design, which has been on the increase for the last years mainly due to the development of industry and communication media. We will make a review on the history of design in order that you learn about its beginnings, its main influences regarding styles of art and artists. We will also deal with one of the most important schools of design: the Bauhaus. This school introduced new concepts and ideas about design and was of great inlfuence to the movements following it -some of which are still in use today.
Since the market for design is so wide and competitve, the need for a visual design that identifies each of the companies participating in it is of prior importance. Take notice that in order to create a corporate image that makes an institution stand out from the rest it is necessary to consider the target, its cultural and social background, and also how persuasive the information included is. This is the task of the graphic designer, an individual of paramount importance. The section The Graphic Designer provides a summary of who he is and why is he important. We will also describe the process of creating a graphic design through an enumeration and brief description of its steps and principles.
Most people associate the term graphic design with the creation of websites and advertisements, and oversee that this process is carried out in many other devices. Apart from websites and commercials or printed advertising, design has many other applications and is expressed in many different ways –for instance, editorial, logo and ebook design. In order to get more information in this regard, you can navigate our site and go to the section called Design Devices and Media, where you will find a summary of design methods and applications.
