Graphic Products are used to persuade, sell and communicate things. They use pictures or words to sell, protect or communicate either themselves or other products. Graphic products are nearly always made from paper, card or plastic. A Graphic Product has two clearly defined pathways; “Conceptual design” incorporates a wide range of 3D products associated graphics, for example - Packaging design, Product/industrial design, and Point-of-sale display. “The built environment” focuses on the surroundings that provide the setting for human activity, for example - Architecture, Interior design, Exhibition design, Theatre sets, and Garden design.
