No need to label it one or the other since it could be both. It is indeed an art, it just so happens that it is a type of art convenient to be used for promotions.

I think graphic design is both art and commercial design. Graphic design uses composition, color theory, typography, and visual storytelling to convey a message or sell a product. Graphic designers use creativity, aesthetics, and design principles to create eye-catching designs. Graphic design balances creative expression and business goals. The design’s context and purpose determine whether it’s art or commerce.

Graphic design is a dynamic field that exists at the intersection of art and commerce. While it undoubtedly involves elements of commercial design, with its focus on creating visual communication for commercial purposes, it is also undeniably a form of art. Graphic designers harness their creative abilities to craft visually compelling and aesthetically pleasing designs that effectively convey messages and evoke emotions. They employ principles of composition, color theory, typography, and visual storytelling, much like traditional artists. Ultimately, graphic design combines artistic expression with a strategic approach to meet commercial objectives, making it a unique blend of art and commerce.
