The forms of communication can be printed, video, film, and
electronically transmitted. Corporate identity, environmental
graphics, annual reports, museum, publication, book, web-page,
and multimedia presentations are examples of what graphic designers
design. The graphic designer is concerned with how communication
is transferred and received, choosing the appropriate mechanism
for distinctness, clarity of information, and appearance.

for which the design is intended, and its appeal to customers
or users. When creating a design, designers often begin by
researching the desired design characteristics, such as size,
shape, weight, color, materials used, cost, ease of use, fit,
and safety.
