We live in a world of technology and with that technology has come a lifestyle that has been surrounded by graphic designs. Life on the web is all about the graphic design of the content that is placed on the net everyday. Every piece of new content that comes on the web everyday comes with some form of graphic design to entice the presentation of that new information.
It does not stop on the web though. Think about the books you read the simple covers and pictures that are there to help tell the story. The comic books that tell stories in complete graphic presentations. The movies we watch or the tv shows. Even the newspapers present their articles with some sort of graphic design no matter how simple it may be it’s there to help catch the eye and increase the value of what you are looking at or reading at that moment.
The work of graphic designers is used everywhere. From the simplest of road signs to the ATM’s at banks they all have some sort of graphic to get your attention. We use graphic design to teach our kids in schools. Graphics are one of the earliest teaching tools used for kids with shapes and colors being portrayed in school books all over the world.
Imagine a commercial with simply a voice trying to sell you a product with no picture, no graphic just a voice to describe and tell you why you need that product. Would not be a big seller. Imagine the Coca Cola brand without the red and white design or Nike without their trademark swoosh. There is true power in graphic design, power to move people in a way that makes them somehow feel connected to a product just based on the way it looks. Some of the true artist of today are those people that are creating graphics for products and companies around the world. Most if not all of these artist may never get the credit they deserve like the artist of the past like a Picasso or a DaVinci but they are artist the artist that are helping to shape our society and how we see it today.

Hi! Great topic you started here, bro. Its amazing how graphic designs effect our everyday life, yet sadly designer professions are devalued by the clients and among ourselves!
agreed ali, a lot of quality graphic designers seem to be under appreciated now a days due to everyone having access to photoshop type software.
