Graphic design is the applied art of arranging image and text to communicate a message. Combining text and image in a coherent way allows images to be explanations or visualizations of corresponding parts of text and vice versa.
Trying to communicate complex information by forming a visually intuitive representation graphic design turns out to be a special case of information visualization, yet it tends to ignore the practical doctrine of form follows function — the sole guideline for InfoVis — and tries to produce not only useful, but even more aethetically satisfying (stylish) visual impressions.
The practice or profession of designing print or electronic forms of visual information, as for an advertisement, publication, or website.
