Graphic Design
The graphic design is process that gives form and structure of visual information. This is area where artistic abilities come across polygraphic resources to design printing materials. The correct composing and combining of each element as text, shrift, colours and images are particularly significant for succesful completion of product.
Being knowledgeable about the different stages of production is also important from a practical point of view as it relates to the conduct of effective communication between the client and the contractor working on the printed issue.
DTP is the stage of ideological visualization of every print article (product). The key for successful print production is understanding of the whole working process – from scanning and creating the file to the DTP and the final result. An idea which comes from the customer, rearranged by designer and goes at the end for printing.
