Graphic and Digital Design

The graphic design field is developing rapidly with the help of digital tools; continuous technological advancements create new challenges and opportunities for the modern graphic designer. Graphic language, through images and texts, largely determines the everyday lives of people all over the world. Newspapers and textbooks, product packaging and promotional posters, signage in malls and roads, websites, and mobile applications are just a few examples of visual communication design.
