What is graphic design?

Good design is good communication....visually. Everybody can communicate, and everybody could design - but some do it more effectively.
When we communicate by speaking, we take into account: our audience, tone of voice, setting, things our audience likes and dislikes (avoid the things they dislike or might remind them of things they dislike)...and most importantly- we have something we want our audience to hear. All these things translate into visual communication as well.

That's good design: make our audience hear what we have to say by looking. Without distraction.
