Graphic designers create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand, to visually communicate ideas. A graphic designer will often work from a brief and aim to create a design outcome that effectively communicates their client’s message. Graphic design includes (but is not limited to) web design, typography, editorial design, advertising, and graphic illustration.
