Development history

The history of graphic design started from the ancient Lasker Cave and spanned to the dazzling neon lights in modern Ginza. In this long history and the rapid development of visual communication in the twentieth century, the boundaries between advertising art, graphic design and art occasionally become blurred.

But these projects all share the same elements, theories, principles, application methods and languages, and sometimes share the same clients. In the art of advertising, the ultimate goal is to sell products and services. In visual design, "the key point is to sort out all kinds of information, combine different ideas, express and feel the artificial objects that record human experience".

development prospect

Most graphic designers graduated from advertising design, art design, applied art, visual communication, industrial design, commercial design and other related design departments. In the past, when freshmen of design department took part in design work, most of them adopted apprenticeship system. They started as assistants from the grass-roots level with their senior predecessors, and slowly studied and groped for it. One study lasted for several years.

However, all relevant design departments pay equal attention to theory and practice in teaching. Freshmen have a little practical experience in school, and they will soon get started in job hunting in the future. Therefore, the learning mode of graphic designer apprenticeship is no longer popular.
