Graphic communication uses visual elements like images, symbols, and text to convey meaning and messages to inform, persuade, inspire, and provoke audiences. It leaves behind artifacts for humans to communicate with each other, as seen in the Storehagen Atrium in Norway designed by Ralston & Bau. Resources are provided to learn more about graphic design through websites on communication systems analysis and design, graphic communication blogs, Facebook, and videos explaining what graphic design entails.
