These applications could cover advertising and the sale of the product, created the visual identity for the institution, the product and the company, and the graphic environment, the design of information, and visually completed the message in the publication.

Whereas Jessica Helfand in the site http://www.aiga.com/defined the graphic design as the combination of words and the picture, figures and the graph of the complex, photographs and the illustration that needed special thinking from an individual that could unite element-eleman this, so as they could produce something that was special, very useful, startling or subversive or something that was easy to be remembered.

According to Danton Sihombing the graphic design employed various elements like marka, the symbol, the verbal analysis that was visualised through typography and the picture was good technically photography or the illustration. These elements were applied in two functions, as visual equipment and communication equipment.
