What Is Graphic Design? Graphic Design is the art or skill of combining text and pictures in advertisements, magazines, or books. Graphic Design is used in every day life and people don't notice it. I haven't really messed around with Graphic Design before. I can't wait to start because I want to  make like t-shirts or like posters. People on Youtube use them in their intos all the time too. Graphic Design is everywhere, it might be small but its also big.
