In general, "media" refers to various means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, and magazines… that reach or influence people widely. Media are the methods of communication and Graphic design is a mode of communication using visual medium.
Nowadays technology has come a lifestyle that has been bordered by graphic designs. For example, the websites placed on the Internet are all based on the graphic design. A graphic designer design the way of presenting the information to attract the audience in every new substance that comes on the web.
It does not include just the web but also the texts of the books, the simple covers, pictures, and the comic books that tell stories in complete graphic presentations; the movies we watch or the TV shows. Even the newspapers present their articles with the help of graphic designers that make layouts no matter how simple but very important to help catch the eye and augment the meaning of what you are looking at or reading.
The work of graphic designers is presented everywhere without knowing it. From the simplest of road signs to the biggest ads, all have some sort of graphic to get your attention. Graphics are one of the earliest teaching tools used for kids with shapes and colors being portrayed in schoolbooks all over the world.
Imagine a commercial with simply a voice trying to sell you a product with no graphic just a voice to describe and tell you why you need that product; of course it would not be a big seller. Or visualize the Coca-Cola brand without the red and white design or Nike without their trademark. There is a true power in graphic design, a control to move people in a way that makes them someway feel connected to a product just based on the way it looks. Some of the true artists of today are those people that are creating graphics for products and companies around the world.
