What is Graphic Design?

Graphic design also know as communication design, is a form of visual communication with the purpose of conveying a specific message to a specific audience. 
Colour theory is the collection of rules and guidelines which designers use to communicate with users through appealing colour schemes in visual interfaces. To pick the best colours every time, designers use a colour wheel and refer to extensive collected knowledge about human optical ability, psychology, culture and more.
