Welcome to the Graphic design WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Graphic design. (For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).

This Wikiproject aims to create a more complete understanding of the breadth of the discipline by explaining the role of Graphic design in different contexts, and by drawing connections between Graphic design and its many related disciplines, areas of interest, and specializations.

One route to achieving a more complete understanding of Graphic design is to frame it in a variety of contexts:

• The history of Graphic design
• The business of Graphic design
• Professional accreditation in Graphic design
• The science of visual communication ( semiotics, perception)
• The Political impact of Graphic design (i.e. poster design and war propaganda)
• Design movements ( Arts and Crafts, Scandinavian modern, etc.)
• Design education

Learn all about how Wikipedia works, what constitutes a great article, and how to go about editing an article here:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• The Manual of Style

Open tasks

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Graphic design:  ·  history ·  watch ·  refresh · Updated 2017-04-19 Recruit motivated design practitioners, educators, and organizations to join this Wikiproject Add articles to project each design related article ( here's a good list) as within the scope of this Wikiproject by adding the following code to the top of its talk page {{ WikiProject Graphic design}}. If there are multiple projects claiming an article, try to consolidate them with {{ WikiProject banner shell}} or {{ WPB}} codes. Categorize Design-related articles not already in Category:Graphic design by adding [[Category:Graphic design]] near the bottom of each article. Be sure to properly categorize any new article you write! Proper categorization will cause an article to automatically appear in the category index. Develop a skeleton structure off which to hang a revised main article on Graphic design Create a list of stub articles on topics for which there is no article yet, and publish them on the main page a list of articles in need of repair/restructuring Clean up the Design portal by adding some more Graphic design-related content the list of Unreferenced BLPs for the project
