A lot of many of the web sites that I have read about history of graphic design. I have found that many of the web sites doesn't say specifically where It started as a discovering or something like this. So I made my conclusion and I think Graphic Design start with the geroflycs that back in the day used to leave on the caves where they used to live. I think that this was perhaps the beginning of Graphic Design.  But I also think that the expanding of Graphic Design increases through the modernization and development of the civilization.
