Pretty much every business will need a great looking website or logo at some point - some will need leaflets, packaging and posters. But not every business has someone with the necessary talent to make something that’s really eye-catching.
Graphic design agencies are groups of skilled designers that can make these things happen for businesses - and in this Sprint, you’re the newest employee. Get stuck in and use your eye for detail, knack for colour and composition, and understanding of the client’s needs to create a charity pamphlet that nails the brief.

Graphic designers work to a brief that has been approved by a client to create visual concepts and designs which can include logos, posters, animations, and product packaging. They might work in-house (providing services for their own company), for an agency or be self-employed as a freelancer.
Exactly what a graphic designer does day-to-day will depend on the type of graphic design they create. Whatever the area, it all starts with a brief. A brief is a document that lists essential information about a graphic design project and is usually provided by a client or employer.
Graphic design can be defined as the use of visual content to communicate ideas and messages. We see examples of graphic design all around us, every day. They include websites, packaging - everything from crisp packets to shoeboxes, road signs, magazines and greetings cards. Graphic design adheres to design principles - a set of rules or guidelines about how to arrange visual elements in a way that makes a great design.
Although the goal of individual works of graphic design varies, the overall purpose remains consistent: the effective visual communication of an idea or message to a particular audience.
