Communication design

Communication design is a sub-discipline of design (sometimes referred to as Graphic Design) which is concerned with how print and noninteractive digital pieces of work communicate with people. Examples of Communication Design include, but are not limited to posters, typography, logo design, and commercial advertising. The distinction between Communication Design and the visual arts is in the motivation: many visual arts are considered works of expression, and while Communication Design does have a certain amount of self-expression, much of the work is done for others.
