1. Human Mind
This is the most important tool in Graphic Design especially since graphic design is half art. While the science half can be left to technology the art half cannot. Human judgment, taste, and preference and of course creativity are vital elements of a successful graphic design piece. Another important attribute machines or technology cannot provide is originality. Designers are hired to make original works. Their works can be totally original starting with each little piece. Their works may also compose of non-original pieces arranged and put together in such a unique way that the origin of the pieces becomes immaterial. Many designers have also developed their own techniques and style of designing.
The computer is an essential tool in Graphic Design because it is what is used to run the different software and applications the designer needs to adequately perform his tasks. Computers can perform many things exponentially faster than humans. They can store data and information in a way that they can be easily retrieved. They are also the primary means in which an individual can connect to the internet. Cyberspace is an important resource because it houses countless images, characters, layouts, and all other graphic design elements most of which can be downloaded for free. Though there are still some who conduct traditional methods of graphic design, a vast majority prefers using computers to make the work easier, faster, and more convenient.
These are a collection of codes and programs that work together to assist the computer user in performing a particular set of tasks. Graphic Design software and applications have greatly evolved through the years. Tasks that used to take days of sitting and working in front of the computer can now be completed in minutes using the right application. Most applications focus on one area such as the Photoshop which revolves around quick, easy, and convenient manipulation and alteration of images. Graphic design tools of today are so efficient even kids can now create their own designs. Some successful designers have not even undergone design classes and simply learned from using applications.
4. Pencil
The pencil is one of the basic tools in graphics. Today however, it is not only limited to the traditional handheld pencil. It can come in the form of a laser pen or a digital pen.
