As the science and technology develops, computer technology is improving. It developed from the initial hand painting to computer design. Computer design is divided into computer graphic, computer art and computer animation design. At the same time, many powerful graphic design software has emerged.
Graphic design software is the general term for computer design software. Graphic design software needs to run through the computer. And then do the design work of graphic characters and pictures.
