Graphic design is an applied art that communicates visually via text and images. Graphic design employs typographic aesthetics and the compositional arrangement of text, decoration, and images to convey ideas, thoughts, and attitudes that go beyond what words alone can represent.
A person uses graphic design to express himself, but not with words, but with images.
These android apps are fantastic for both beginners and advanced users, the list is as follows:

It’s perfect for novices who want to rapidly sketch something on an Android device, but it also has enough depth and skills to please specialists. The free version has a lot of advertising, however there is a premium version that isn’t too expensive (either through a one-off payment of monthly subscription). The Prime Membership provides a few more tools, so it’s worth investigating.

The newest version detects typefaces in the wild – Take a photo of a type you like and a list of Adobe Fonts choices will emerge.
6 Adobe Comp
Adobe Comp is compatible with all Adobe applications and may be used on Android smartphones; however, this app allows graphic designers to experiment with text, shapes, and fonts.
Typekit offers a selection of free typefaces, and the current version now supports third-party fonts loaded on the device. The most recent version allows you to examine mockups instantaneously, change multiple selections, and utilise keyboard shortcuts.

8 Adobe Photoshop Sketch & Photoshop Mix
Photoshop Sketch includes drawing tools such as a graphite pencil, ink pen, blending markers, and an eraser, as well as acrylic and pastel brushes. It’s essentially Photoshop’s design capabilities condensed into a smartphone app, so users should find it familiar and quite useful.

With Illustrator Draw, anybody can produce vector graphics, and there are several tools at their disposal to make the process easier and more efficient.

The simplest level of Creative Cloud membership includes 2GB of free storage for file synchronisation and sharing.
Support for pressure sensitive styli, such as Adobe’s proprietary Ink & Slide, adds to the attractiveness.
