What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design is a global term of a variety of corporate and advertising design mediums. Branding, Corporate Identities, Magazine Layout, Advert Design all fall under this title and many more. The core of Graphic Design is to effectively communicate to a specific target audience. This is also commonly referred to as Information Design.

Graphic Design forms the base of all other design, Web Design and experimental Interactive Media Design all draw from Graphic Design. Graphic Design has been a profession for more than one hundred years, although the name has changed over time, the fundamentals stay the same. To communicate to your audience on their level. Thus effectively getting your ideas/products/services to them in a way they will be most receptive and will be easily understood.

The aesthetic value of Graphic Design is not just that, aesthetic, it too serves very specific function, acting as the "map", as it were, to guiding the target audience into the design and revealing the information in an effective manner. Solid and professional design will give your product/service/business an edge over the competition as it makes your service/business more accessible.

What is Web Design & Development?

Web Design & Development is pretty much as it says, it is specifically design for websites and the internet. The Development part is the nuts and bolts section of the website. The underskirt if you excuse my metaphor. Development allows designers and programmers the capacity to attach functions to a website increasing the interactive experience, accessibility, searchablity and end user control.

The development also lends to the design side, development tools provide designers the capacity to create the best looking functioning website possible. Web Design & Development go together like two peas in a pod. A good website will always have both. The looks and the brians...So to speak.
