What is graphic design?

Graphic design is using the help of technology to create art pieces. It's often used to make logos, posters, advertisements, t-shirts, book covers, and much more. It's most commonly used in advertising. To make a certain ad stand out more than the others, the designer creates a eye catching design to get reader's/viewer's attention.
What I like best about grapic design is that even though you may not be the best at drawing, you can still create excellent works of art based on what you want the design to look like. That way, things can always be what you imagine, and you don't have to worry as much about how they're going to turn out. If something isn't right, it can easily be changed. This is why graphic design is the best option for me. I can get my ideas as I see them out there.
