Getty AAT defines graphic arts as, “Broadly, any presentation in two-dimensional visual form, including most arts on paper, panel, or canvas, including painting. In current usage, typically refers to the arts of printmaking and illustration that depend upon line and not color to render the design.”
Use Graphic Design and Illustration for the category of any image used for illustration or didactic purposes, e.g. color wheels, charts, etc.
