INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Graphic design is as old as civilization. It is from here that reading and writing became a part of modern man’s development. Cave man produced graphic on the walls of the caves in the form of line drawing.
Around the fifteenth century graphic, developed to the extent that the early church used it in the making of books, scrolls and Bible writings. Above all, illustrations were also made for the readers of those days. We now can see graphic design as being an area that shoulders all forms of knowledge without which letters of the alphabets, reading and writing would not have been easy.
Today, the scope of graphic design has widened so much that it now wades into every aspect of modern activities. It has become a part of industrial, economic, social, agricultural and educational development of any country. It has made possible the production of books, magazine and newspapers. Also, it has embraced illustrations, both photographic and manual. Drawings on the pages and covers of this publication could
not have been possible without Graphics design. At this age of industrialization, when product manufacturing has increased beyond bounds, packaging design has become a part of industrial production. Here the manufacturer cannot think about his product without putting into consideration the package that will carry it, as well as making it attractive to buyers and admires.
Visual communication design connotes the use of graphics packages in enhancing the communication and production advertisement of goods and services to the public.
