According to Wikipedia, Graphic design is a form of communication in which visual information is used to convey a message. Unlike fine art, it is normally used for commercial purposes, to convey a specific and persuasive message to a large audience. Graphic design often incorporates typography, page layout, image development, and branding, but it is not limited to these elements.
Like many forms of communication, graphic design often refers to both the process by which the communication is created, and the final form that it takes.
