Graphic Design: Towards Digital Applications

Abstract

The disciplines of Graphic Design and Computer Science interact synergistically; the computer is used by the designer as a creative tool while the scientist benefits from the designer’s contribution concerning the best use of the visual potential of the medium. The graphic designer is urged to become computer-literate not only to take advantage of current technology in the design workplace or to seek new professional opportunities in the computer field, but to participate in the development of software that will best serve the designer’s needs without restricting the dynamic nature of the design process.
