of graphic design, as it can affect how viewers perceive the design. For example, a well-
designed layout can make a design more visually appealing, easier to read, or more
memorable.

 Illustration

Illustration is the art of creating images. It can be used to add visual interest to a design, to
tell a story, or to simply make a design more visually appealing. There are many different
styles of illustration, and designers can choose the style that best suits the needs of the
design.

ways. For example, a designer might use typography to create a sense of urgency, or to
emphasize a call to action. A designer might use layout to create a sense of balance or
harmony, or to guide the viewer's eye through the design. A designer might use

for a protest might use strong typography and bold colors to create a sense of urgency. A
designer who is creating a website for a company might use clean lines and simple
typography to create a sense of professionalism. A designer who is creating a book cover
