What is Graphic Design?

The ability to experiment, to value and to learn from mistakes and build on the experience achieved is the hallmark of a successful and creative individual. 

Creativity is often mistaken with originality because there are very few original ideas. Creativity is actually the ability to see connections and relationships where others have not. 

Design Process: 1. collect ideas and skills through reading or experimentation. 

     2. Formulate a tentative problem, and begin to explore the topic. 

The Design Cycle 

This cycle is very useful since it shows all the processes and steps you have to take when you are designing something. It guides you through all of the work. Planning, Investigating, Creating and Evaluating are the four main steps of the cycle. Then each section is divided into two sub sections which defines each step. If you actually think about it, you can start from anywhere and end from anywhere because you will definitely have to come across each step when you are designing.
