Hi, I am Jessica Sassi, I finished graphic design last semester. I still have three classes to pass to get my diploma. My glossary could be useful to people that are unfamiliar with the world of graphic design. Graphic design is a way of communicating information using designs. My glossary is made of fifteen words, each words is related to the business side or terms that are important to understand in design. I found the definitions on the internet.
