Graphic Communication

[edit]

As the name suggests, graphic communication involves the use of visual components in communication. These components can include passive contributions from the substrate, color, and environment, as well as symbols like glyphs and icons, visuals like drawings and photographs. It is the process of developing, producing, and disseminating written and visual content that conveys information, ideas, and feelings. [1]

The term "graphics communications" refers to a broad field that includes all aspects of the visual communications processes, from concept generation (design, layout, and typography) to reproduction, finishing, and dissemination of two- or three-dimensional products or electronic transmission.[1]

The field of graphic communications focuses on the technical elements of creating and delivering visual communication materials. This encompasses the technical components involved in creating tangible goods like books, periodicals, and packaging as well as digital products like e-newsletters, interactive apps, websites, videos, and virtual reality applications.

Drawings, photos, presentations, and other visual materials are used in graphic communication to connect concepts. A preliminary map drawn to outline the path and drawings of plans and improvements might be categorized as pictorial communication.

Development of ideas and visual production are the main goals of graphic design. Included in this are lessons on the fundamentals and aspects of design, typography, picture editing, online and video creation, etc.[2]

Graphical communication encompasses any format that makes use of graphics to help transmit a thought, instruction, or message. Drawing is one of the most popular graphic communication methods.[3 1]

History

[edit]

Communication in the ancient era involves touching, either tenderly or aggressively, as well as motions and gestures, as well as visual and auditory cues. [4][1] The oldest graphics that have been discovered by anthropologists who study prehistoric times are those that were made in caves and on stones, bones, ivory, and antlers between 40,000 and 10,000 B.C. or earlier. Several of them were crucial to geometry. Their mathematical theories, such the Pythagorean theorem and the Circle Theorem, were represented visually.

Graphic communication topics

[edit]

Graphics

[edit]
geometric patterns

Graphics are visual displays made on a surface, such as a wall, canvas, computer screen, paper, or stone, with the purpose of branding, informing, illuminating, or amusing. Examples include imagery such as pictures, sketches, line art, graphs, diagrams, typography, numbers, symbols, geometric patterns, maps, engineering drawings, or other visuals. Often, text, art, and color are combined in graphics. The purposeful selection, development, or arrangement of typography alone can constitute graphic design, as in a brochure, flier, poster, website, or book without any other components. Clarity or successful communication, affiliation with other cultural components, or even just the development of a unique style may be the goal.

Graphics can be aesthetic or useful. The line between the two may become hazy if the latter is a documented version, such as a photograph, or if it is an interpretation by a scientist to highlight key characteristics.

Communication

[edit]

Communication is the process whereby information is imparted by a sender to a receiver via a medium. It requires that all parties have an area of communicative commonality. There are auditory means, such as speaking, singing and sometimes tone of voice, and nonverbal, physical means, such as body language, sign language, paralanguage, touch, eye contact, by using writing. Communication is defined as a process by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding. This process requires a vast repertoire of skills in intrapersonal and interpersonal processing, listening, observing, speaking, questioning, analyzing, and evaluating. If you use these processes it is developmental and transfers to all areas of life: home, school, community, work, and beyond. It is through communication that collaboration and cooperation occur. [5]

Graphic design

[edit]

Any creative or professional field that focuses on visual communication and presentation can be referred to as graphic design. To generate a visual representation of concepts and messages, a variety of techniques are employed to construct and mix symbols, pictures, and/or words. To create the finished product, a graphic designer may employ typography, visual arts, and page layout strategies. Graphic design is frequently used to describe both the methods (designing) used to produce the message as well as the end results (designs).

Magazines, ads, product packaging, and website design are some common contexts for graphic design. For instance, a product packaging could have a logo or other piece of artwork, logical writing, and pure design aspects like color and form that tie the whole thing together. One of the most crucial aspects of graphic design is composition, particularly when integrating pre-existing resources or various parts.

Graphical representation

[edit]

O'Shaughnessy and Stadler (2005) claim that there are several possible definitions and interpretations for the word "representation". Three definitions of representation are frequently used in literary theory.

  1. to resemble or appear like
  2. substitute something or someone for
  3. To re-present or make a second presentation[6]

According to Mitchell (1995), representation emerged from early literary theory in the concepts of Plato and Aristotle and has since grown to be an important topic in language, Saussurian, and communication studies. In three ways, Aristotle explores representation:

  1. The representational symbol is the thing.
  2. The manner in which the sign is shown.
  3. signifies: The substance used to symbolize it.

Language is the tool used in literary depiction. Graphics are the tool used for pictorial depiction. One of the most often utilized methods of presentation is the graphical depiction of data. The goal of graphical communication is to effectively deliver a message or piece of information to the recipient. Professional groups frequently employ graphical presentations while creating reports.
