We are surrounded daily by products of graphic design: from a road sign to the label of the products we consume. Even the visual aspect of the website you are reading at this time was developed by a designer.

Because of Design's importance in the day-to-day life, it was agreed that the date would be marked annually since 1995, on the anniversary of the International Council of Graphic Design Associations.

Graphic Design is a creative process that conveys a specific message to an audience through the combined use of words, images and symbols, in order to assemble a visual representation of ideas and convey messages.

Today, several events are promoted to honour graphic designers, such as professional meetings, design contests and lectures.
