Graphic design in search of its identity

To encompass the multitude of activities currently attached to graphic design, scholars, practitioners, and other stakeholders have proposed a range of names in recent times. Owing to the expansion of the role and multiple proposed and prevalent nomenclatures in education and industry, some confusion and identity crisis exists. This study investigates and traces the journey of graphic design, how its roles and functions have evolved with time, and the challenge of assigning a universally acceptable nomenclature encompassing all that graphic design stands for now. Data has been collected from both primary and secondary sources to get a sense of the situation.

Jeweled Couture Dress-2

Power Chic

Fashion is a mode of art created using combinations of forms, patterns and materials. I always use elements and principles of design like rhythm, balance and texture when I create my ensemble.
