What is Graphic Design?

Graphic design is very unique in many ways. Lets say you are walking down a street in New York city, you will see graphic design on signs, billboards, on buildings, and everything else.  You can make graphic design through text, pictures, shapes, colors, and textures. People use programs like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, or InDesign. Good graphic design makes peoples lives better and in the end graphic design is everywhere.
