[lunaandproud]

[AndyHarglesis]

Fuck you and die.

I'll teach myself how to do it all if you won't help me you fucks!

[chingyat06]

only one answer for this question :))

WHAT graphic design is??

Graphic design is VISUAL COMMUNICATION:D that's it.....

[gilesderoet]

@chingyat06 graphic design in a small and overly self-important subset of visual communication. I should know, I am one, but I don't wear trendy glasses.

[chingyat06]

[Elidoransgar]

Graphic Design is the communication of ideas and information. Ideally, communication is made as effortless as possible, with no barriers to easy communication. Information is prioritized.

One glance should give a perfect menu of the information within. At a glance you see the product or company or idea, and the eye is lead easily to each subsequent piece of information, intuitively following a clearly laid-out map, no compass required.

[CODMGS]

i use graphic design for like animations, and video game design

[zinimef]

reduce their cost?@ free??

to produce a good design tht can fulfill the client's need is not easy

how come we can make it for free? lol

[pipperz]

"Graphic Design, they um, design by.. design on the computer?"

[YoussefS]

1:28 what a wanker

[GraphicAbility]

jealous much

[YoussefS]

@GraphicAbility not at all, it's just he is not articulating what he really wants to. seems like an attempt to look like he knows what he is talking about. Much like your nickname that needs to verify your 'graphicability'

[lastinlineband1]

Speaking of "What is Graphic Design" I wanted to contribute and learn from the Graphic Design industry. I wanted to post a video response of a cartoon I made about the difference between Art & Design. Just a bit of humor. I hope you enjoy it. =)

[mattmcrae88]

This is so funny. What is Graphic design? Design with graphics. haha

Peoples concept of design is soooo wrong. They couldnt be more far away from the truth.

[bouncingsoul100]

lol

[5mina5]

haha cool video :D lol

[fishbehindthesofa]

A Beaut of a film. Thank you Cobbers!

[ejdc007]

YEAH!!!! anyone can do graphic design, BUT not everyone can do an original, creative Graphic Design.. GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nicksaregone]

Graphic Designers are starving people who do their best to come out with a new concept and develpment and our bosses or Clients destroy that concept because they think their visual idea is good not knowing that we have been in the field for many years and we like a Police know all the stupid lines that clients or bosses tell us to do. It is frustrating to be a Graphic Designer. We should have an UNION OF DESIGNER

[pilamestre]

hear hear lol

[northfieldsblues]

reduce their costs.. why not do it for free

[onlinemonitor]

People often forget the most important aspect: information design - the thing that helps them find toilets in the airport etc.

[onlinemonitor]

Love the "designing graphics" response!

[royalsteven]

Graphic design is God's intelligent creation -_-

[shonky13]

reduce there costs - lol typical

[teqnik001]

"moneypeople are maggots"

now that's a classic

[muidlatif]

wonderful video. anyway, frame 2:02-2:04, the guy's tshirt design is hilarious :P

[karaloca]

6.08 - "Anyone can do it now - if you have a powerful enough computer" Now thats a classic.

Like anyone with a gun is a soldier.

Like anyone with a surfboard can surf.

Like anyone with a knife is a brain surgeon.

Like anyone with a pencil is an architect.

Its so simple.

[3volution8]

Same as anyone who has a paint brush is an artist!

Much like people who call them selves designers when in fact they are artworkers... 'sigh'

[savagecabage]

well said:) computers were more than powerful enough 10 years ago... this guy should get out more!

[karaloca]

"Thought it was architect stuff" Great!

With much of the crap I see today - I don't think most graphic designers know what it is either though.

2.49 - Obviously an educated chap, who knows what the childs going to become with a 'Bruce' like that.

[TheRandomWaretv]

Wanky lmao

[ghyselsguy65]

5:50, are those bongs in the background?!?!

[117Spartain]

yes LOL

[Graabeingraa]

lmao,a load of bullshit!!!

gotta love that!!! X)

[MikeWilson2k5]

Graphic design is a wank.

It's true - that's my daily thought process - how to piss of that man.

[isaacfrancis2]

Word & Pictures used in an artistic, creative and dynamic way while still sucessfully getting information and message across clearly. Examples are:

1. Print Design such posters, books, magazines, business cards. shop signs

2. Screen Design such as websites, television, computer screens, mobile devices.

Anything where words and pictures come together in a dynamic way to enhance information or a message.

[bath21man]

@isaacfrancis2 Thanks you really helped are you a grahic designer

[isaacfrancis2]

Graphic Design has many definitions and here is just one of the many. Graphic Design is

"The Design and make-up of printed material".

Graphic Design is all around us in the form of printed material large and small. If you had no printed material then you would have no graphic design. Likewise if you had no websites then you would have no graphic design.

[Alectrow]

LOL @ the guy who said graphic design is a wank aaaahahaahhahahahahahahhaa I cannot laugh any harder at him

[kelliegene]

5.48 - is that a bong shop?

[aussietv]

That's Jacko at 2:50.

[YoussefS]

2:15 probably the most informed

2:48 hahhahahahha fucking brilliant!!! love that dude!!

[willfree7]

How nice this video, its informative, I like it. I'm a professional graphic designer here.

[Bluwhodesign]

So this is the Aussy equivalent to Jay walking? (stuip people on camera)

[youhgurt]

why does she speak on swedish 1:53?

[filax11]

Maybe because she is from Sweden. (Just a wild guess).

[youhgurt]

Haha, yes. But why answering in swedish when the journalist talks english? :D

[dazzylila]

" i think its a lot of b*lsh*t ,,

ita another wanky trendy ~~ i think its a lod of slosh "

[kplaub]

Brilliant!

[icantfindausernamehe]

pmsl at 2.50. spot on

[raonipaes]

Graphic Design is beyond visual communication. Much more than a graphic interface with visual elements... It is a form of sharing thoughts, ideas, and any other kind of information in a suitable way for the masses or a specific public. (a short answer).

[raonipaes]

.... 2:50, that's the typical answer from an uninstructed left wing activist....graphic design seen as a tool of a capitalist system. That's sad, since his kid will grow up listening to stupid things like that from his own dad.

[Republic12]

Graphic Design is the art of communication.

I have been with my girlfriend for over 3 years and she doesn't even know what I do for a living (Graphic Designer) so I wouldn't expect a random on the street to know either.

[webcoredesign]

Good vid!!

That guy at 2:50 has issues!

Please feel free to watch my logo videos! :-)

[elpapi3443]

ok in my own words..... Graphic Design- the art of visual things like pictures and words that can be made by hand or computer. For example a stop sign or a youtube logo,a google logo, and even windows vista logos or icons. So you see graphic design is all about visual arts. P.S. This is what I want to do as a career.

[BigAlzo]

i can't believe how many people don't know what graphic designer is, but they know what is a good advice is

oh 2:50, really annoyed me, that has to be the worst answer there is

[jstrassler]

"a load of slosh" lol

[albxlinda]

if you want more free resources on graphic and web design visit Eri Design Blog.Just Google it.

[mikejoemarrs]

That dude with the MASTURBATION Is Not A Crime T-Shirt on did not even care he got caught wearing such a ridiculous shirt!

[Sherrielb86]

Being a student of Graphic Design, this is really depressing. Graphic Design is staring people in the face, everywhere they go, every day of their lives and yet nobody really knows what it is!

[robbiebalboa]

3:00, without graphic design mate you would fukin struggle to read an instruction manual you fukin wank.

[birdmantk]

most these people sound retarded graphic design is anything from pictures, animations, etc.

[visualguerillaFILMs]

yeah.., what the f**k is graphic design..?? :)

thanks for asking so much people, woow!!

[OhMymy]

99% of these people won't admit they don't know a thing about graphic design. Or they think they do, but they don't

[feesonge]

Diseñar es algo complejo la mayoria de la gente no tiene idea de que se trata. Todos quieren serlo porque creen que es algo muy creativo, pero gente, despierten, la creatividad no se enseña, nace con uno.

[Funnylovefunnylife]

en la parte creativa, si, pero el diseño está hecho para hacer una impresión en la gente...se usa para publicidad, para que la demanda de un producto crezca, y eso, aunque uno tenga una intuición, es más complejo, hay que saber qué es un buen diseño, qué es lo que alguien compraría, que es algo práctico, que es algo sensillo y que todos quieran usar, es buenísimo aprenderlo, y mejor usarlo, si la creatividad es buena, es un complemento entre cada uno y el estudio!

[opane]

they should've designed this movie to be a lot shorter

[mrthickshake]

the guy at the 3 minute mark: thats why i like australians and new zealanders. Critical thinking right there

[rosapastel7]

that happens in any place the most people don´t know what it's graphic design it's a reality in any place of the world

[EnnEyeSeaKay]

Very eye opening - thanks for this.

[Eclipzio3]

What is the name of the song in the background?=)

[OpticalFascism]

Did these people all give their permission to be published on Youtube or not? They didn't even get credits or a thanks for saying something in front of a camera.

[towardHansen]

This short film was made to gather the general publics view of graphic design for the not-for-profit organisation Australian Graphic Design Association. All permissions were asked and granted from the various respondents. All respondents were thanked after their response. This film is an invaluable learning tool to students of design and was posted on youtube for education and non-profit purposes. The idea, production and responses were supplied gratis. Our again thanks to all involved.

[toxou44]

ALL IGNORANTS!

[genmaru]

"...A load of slosh".

WHAT?

[silversurfer300]

Can anyone tell me what the music was in this video?

Thanks.

[nk3ofq]

"barry 7's contraption" by Add N to X from the "avant hard" album

[silversurfer300]

Aha!

Thanks for that :)

[pansita00]

It is communication. Visual communication. I learned that on my first day of university.

[indyvknife]

so a book is graphic design?

[eboy132]

yes...

[moderatemark]

Every part of the book is designed. The cover is the most obvious but the typography it self is also an integral part of the books design.

[subomar]

man the only one i know is shepard fairey.. but there most be atleast 1000000000000000000 graphic designers out there..

[aleon84]

there is an absurd amount of graphic designers out there, unfortunatly i only found that out after i graduated. one job interview i went to apparently recieved more than 100 applications.

[dessertbug]

Yes! and I am going out of my mind trying to find ANY design job!

[tachimtz1]

We are strangers in this planet.

[ranndino]

Aussie dude was one angry mofo.

[lifeisshortliveitup]

WAHT IS GRAPHIC DESIGN?? DESIGNING GRAPHIC !! WTF lolZZZZZZZZZZZZ DAMN FUNNY PL nowadays !! i was like that wen i dnt knw somethin i would pretty much be like taht !

[CiperText]

[tsunadetrinity1436]

[Luvs23]

[tberdal]

LOL OLD LADYS

[ChrisPlugged]

The guy with the son on his back was shopping when they met him!

[jozza81]

Man in white shirt this is for you:

Zzzzzzzzzzz.... what?

[sevenzark7]

Well, I'd have to say that the hippie at 2:20 and the really cranky guy with the baby at 2:48 are both right! I agree with placebo623- I don't know either! Advice: stock up on aspirin and stress balls!

[glenyeo]

It is a practice to make things look 'prettier', often but not always practical. There is no science behind graphic design, only statistics. It's an awareness and it's everywhere. You cannot escape it!

[G0NZ0STaR]

Load of slosh? LOL...

[JawSaLee]

"it is ARTY!"

[daschlitz]

Nice video, i liked it. Good luck? I'll need it!

[freshflapjax]

the guy with the baby was hilarious ...and the kids who said "designing graphics". i can't wait to go to new zealand!

[freshflapjax]

that tattooed dark haired guy doesn't look like he'd have that good of an answer, but his was the best!

[hellokittydimaggio]

lmao the part in the store with the twirly thing & cher playing.lolloloolol

"what is graphic design?"

"designing graphics."

[prelan]

HAHAHAHAHA FUCK ME "its a loadof er um er wanky erm crap er" HAHAHHA

[hittemwitt]

the she guy was awesome hahahaha

and the "uhh designing graphics" guy lol

[endmorphine]

surprising that the people you'd least expect actually had a clue and others were way off

[placebo623]

As a graphic designer, I can say I don't know what it is either at times.

[celshader]

Same here.

I am in Multimedia.

There is just so many ways to communicate visually these days, the words 'Graphic Design' seem very inadequate in describing all the media out there.

Most people seem to limit 'Graphic Design' to what can be done visually with typography, 2d graphics and photos on a printed page.

[inventivanet]

its good job visit my age w w w . iconomagazine . c o m

[Pyramid0rz]

Oh man, good video. Yeah I studied a couple of subjects of graphic design myself, at the Swinburne University Prahran campus. How is it possible that these people do not know what graphic design is?
