4 Common Myths About Graphic Design
Graphic design has advanced a lot. Graphic design is an ever-evolving art form. 
However, many designers believe the same graphic design myths. We've compiled a 
list of graphic design myths and offer tips to help you create your own.
Graphic design has evolved with technology. John Phanchalad believes that Graphic 
design is now used in many different areas than just printing materials. It can also be 
used digitally and in virtual reality. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions 
about graphic design, even though it has been used in many different ways over the 
years. We will be addressing 4 common misconceptions regarding graphic design in 
this article.
1. Graphic design does not just involve creating logos
A logo is an essential graphic design asset for every business. Logos become your 
business's emblem, and people will be able to identify with your brand values 
and what you offer. This is evident in the Nike swoosh, which comes with "Just 
Do It" or McDonald's golden M.
Graphic design doesn't just involve creating logos. Instead, graphic design is 
about creating visual content that communicates a message.
This can be used on various media, including posters, album covers, magazine 
spreads, and infographics brand presentations.
2. Graphic design can only be used in print media
Graphic design is now available in various digital media, possibly even more than 
printing. Website banners, email newsletters, and social media graphics are all 
examples. As a result, many graphic designers find their roles cross-over with UX 
(user experience design), content generation, and social media.
3. Graphic design uses only still images
Graphic design does not have to be limited to graphics or still imagery. Video 
continues to be one of the most powerful advertising mediums. Animation 
and videos are now an integral part of graphic design. GIFs, graphics for 
YouTube videos, animated infographics, and social media ads with a 
slideshow of graphics and images are all examples. If you have a business, 
you might consider making video slideshows and GIFs for Facebook ads. 
Research shows that this is five times more engaging than static imagery.
4. Graphic design requires fancy tools
Professional graphic designers use sophisticated design software, a tablet with a 
stylus, and complex design tools. These tools can allow designers greater freedom, 
but they can also be very expensive and take many years to master. The good news? 
You don't have to spend much money to create graphic design elements. Canva is 
one of many free tools that makes graphic design simple and easy. In addition, these 
tools can be used for all pieces of branding collateral to give your brand a 
professional and elevated look.
