Brief History of Graphic Design

The very first printed word of mankind was the opening of Graphic Design! And its resident land was none other then earliest caves and caverns! The very first symbol they had sketched through grotto drawings, paintings, markings on boulders, bone, and ivory are the foremost signal and confirmation where graphic design was born, nursed, nourished and grown! Nonetheless, the term Graphic Design was named by William Addison Dwiggins in the early 20th Century. Furthermore, from 600-250 BC evolution on geometrical shape and structures in Europe played a major role for the development of designing and sketching. As an applied art of arranging images and text for an attempt of visual communication; the hand written copy of the Christian Bible "The Book of Kells", created by Irish monks in 9th century AD with rich illustrations is a good example of the evolution of graphic design.
