Graphics (from
Greek ; see
-graphy) are
visual presentations on some surface, such as a wall,
canvas, computer screen, paper, or stone to
brand, inform, illustrate, or entertain. Examples are
photographs,
drawings,
Line Art,
graphs,
diagrams,
typography,
numbers,
symbols,
geometric designs,
maps,

color. Graphic design may consist of the deliberate selection, creation, or arrangement of typography alone, as in a brochure, flier, poster, web site, or book without any other element. Clarity or effective communication may be the objective, association with other cultural elements may be sought, or merely, the creation of a distinctive style.
