Graphic Design in Coastal Virginia

Graphic design or communication design is the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual elements and/or text. The form of the communication can be physical or digital, and may include images, words, or graphic forms.

Graphic designers create and combine symbols, images and text to form visual representations of ideas and messages. A few of the many categories of graphic design include advertising, cartooning, illustration, logos, package design, print design, signage, typography, video design and web design. Graphic designers in this exhibition include professionals and faculty members who teach graphic design in our Tidewater colleges and universities.
