Screens shape our world – from the time when we flocked around TVs in the 1960s to the current situation of sitting with each our own screen. Screens increasingly affect us and our environment through endless variations of content. Graphic design for screens is about designing everything from TV-programme opening sequences to webpages and from TV test-pages to social media. Even time and weather have their own graphic expressions. When designers create forms, they think about the users and the audience they want to reach. Through pictures, texts, colours, sounds and movement, designers create stories and make information accessible.
