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 word is related to the creation side or terms that are important to understand in designing a concept that will be seen by many people. I found the definitions on the internet and from my own knowledge. Each word is followed with an audio to help with the pronunciation if someone does not know how to pronounce a word from my glossary. My words don't really have images to show what they mean by using a picture because they are mostly terms used to describe something and not to show something. The fifteen words regroup everything you need to create the perfect concept. I would want my reader to try to keep the fifteen words in their vocabulary for future usage in the world of design.
