A logo is meant to immediately advertise the purpose of whatever it is representing. Also, a good logo gives a strong impression that lasts forever, but a bad logo makes the whole package look bad.
2. Website
Graphic Design also talks about layout and strategy, and websites that have all the right information at all the right places shows there is good planning involved. Ever wondered why ads are put in certain corners of the website while some takes up a few banners or two? By adding a little bit of aesthetic sense into making websites, it can either look really professional or totally out of this world, depending on your content.
This comes in all shapes and sizes; billboard, television commercials, flyers, movie commercials, posters, online pop-ups and even YouTube has advertisements on. By placing advertisements on their websites, this gives them extra cash in their pockets, which helps them with their service upgrades and everything in between. Print advertisements are there to catch the eyes, and to convince people to purchase their products as effective as a billboard can be. Nowadays we see electric billboards all over the streetlights, showing how advertisement is taking it to a whole new level. (Digital advertising)
