what is graphic design?


Undoubtedly one of my favourite magazine covers of all time, how could you not love the humour and charm of Esquire's March 1965, 'the masculinization of American women' front page?

The bold image is fantastic as an image alone, but with great context, and communicates this with wonderful humour and tongue-in-cheek.
The colour scheme of the logo and type above also works well with the colouring, and takes nothing away from the main photographic feature.

"graphic design...is the effective delivery of a message, idea, or concept through the use of visual language."
