Graphics (from Greek γραφικός “graphikos”)
Graphics include all visual presentations that are projected onto a surface of some form (inter alia, a wall; a canvas; a sheet of paper; electronic screens), their purpose is to brand, entertain or illustrate. “Graphs” — be they bar graphs, line graphs or pie graphs — depict data (i.e., facts and figures in a spreadsheet) in a graphical, more visually stimulating, form.
