What Do Graphic Designers Do?

Graphic designers, in people’s minds, often get lumped together with fine artists – when the truth is that we’re almost opposites. Artists create to inspire, to emote, to share something that’s uniquely theirs with the world – and the best art lets each viewer find their own interpretation. Designers, on the other hand, create to communicate – we’re visual-thinking problem solvers, and if people are interpreting our message in their own unique ways, well, then we’re just not very good at our job. This field is closely related to marketing and often create marketing images. Some of the items graphic designers create are: Logos//Flyers//Brochures//Posters//Branding// Illustrations// Printing//Concept Art//Packaging Design// Mailers// Invitations//Event Marketing Books//Photography//Image Manipulation// Infographs//3-D Design //Typography// Business Cards// Layout//Car Wraps//Window Clings//T-shirt Designs// Animation// and more!
