Graphic Design: Camila Pérez Gómez

Graphic design is a profession that involves projecting visual communications to transmit specific messages to social groups. The history of graphic design began in prehistoric times but the modern profession emerged in the late 19th century. Designers now use digital tools like page layout and image editing programs. Pioneers like Tschichold, Bayer, Moholy-Nagy, and El Lissitzky established foundational techniques. Designers must define problems, plan solutions, research and analyze information, and evaluate results using skills like creativity, communication, technology mastery, and collaboration. Graphic design on social networks now helps companies share important information and messages during the COVID-19 pandemic.

History of graphic
design
The definition of the profession of graphic designer is
rather recent, in terms of its training, its activity and its
objectives. Although there is no consensus on an exact
date graphic design was born, some date it to the interwar
period. Others understand that he begins to identify
himself as such by the end of the 19th century.
It can be argued that graphic communications for specific
purposes have their origin in Paleolithic cave paintings
and the birth of written language in the third millennium
BC. But the differences in working methods, auxiliary
sciences and required training are such that it is not
possible to clearly identify the current graphic designer
with the man of prehistory, with the xylograph of the
15th century or with the lithographer of 1890.
