Basically, today Mr. Radzi Bedu teach us, what is graphic design.
In history, you can see some drawing on the wall, that is the way of those people communicate, with no words, but graphic only, that is graphic design.
Graphic design serve the purpose - to communicate with others.
It deal with graphic, such as logo, application in Iphone/Smartphones, typography, just with 1 goal, to communicate.
A fail graphic design, is mean miscommunication, so call communication break down. Mean that, just only yourself, who the only one know the true meaning, but other take it as another meaning.
In Wikipedia, Communication is the activity of conveying meaningful information. Communication requires a sender, a message, a receiver and feedback through a medium.
The medium can be in the form of computer screen, on paper or any in form that can provide visual data.
The artwork you create just for your own interest, and just communicate among yourself, that is not graphic design, that is monolog. A graphic design must achieve it purpose - which is communicate, at least there are two audiences who can understand your graphic design want to bring out what meaning, mean communicate success, mean is a graphic design :) When your work (photography or ++) you keep it, that is not graphic design, but when you share it with some words in open public such as internet, then your work will become a graphic design, because it archive communication.
