What is Computer Graphic Design?
Computer graphic design produces visual ideas and
a creative template for advertising and publicity. This
has become a phenomenon in the way your ads
affects your marketing.
In publishing information and creating more
attractive images about the product which boosts a
product market, the graphic designer plays a
significant role. In order to produce emotions and to
send messages to viewers, computer graphic
designers use technology to manipulate and blend
words, pictures, colour and typography.
The Software we use?
Officially known as Adobe Systems, the company is known
for its multimedia and creativity software products. Popular
products include Photoshop, Acrobat Reader, and Adobe
Creative Cloud.
Headquartered in San Jose, California, the company was
founded in 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke.
The name Adobe comes from Adobe Creek in California,
which ran behind the houses of the company’s founders.
One of Adobe’s first products was digital fonts, with the
company entering the consumer software market in the
1980s. Adobe Illustrator was the company’s first consumer
product, which was a vector-based drawing program for
Mac.
Raster and vector graphics
All computer art is digital, but there are two
very different ways of drawing digital
images on a computer screen, known as
raster and vector graphics. Computer
graphic programs like Adobe Photoshop
are based on raster graphics. Adobe
Illustrator uses vector graphics. So what
exactly is the difference?
