What is a Graphic Designer?

Definition: Graphic Design has been around as long as man has been making marks; first on stone canyons or dry earth, now ephemerally and globally on the World Wide Web. Graphic Designers work designing print, environmental (signage systems) or electronic forms of visual information, as for an advertisement, publication, or website. All this is managed by a skillful use and understanding of type, color, and image and sound to create visual solutions to communications problems.

Working with Others: Graphic Designers may spend many long hours alone at the computer but to bring a project to completion they are part of a team. The creative team consists of one or more of the following professionals in related fields:

Writers and editors
Marketing and Public Relations Specialists
Advertising and Sales Representatives
Illustrators
Photographers
Art Directors and Creative Directors
Computer Software Engineers
Architects and Interior Designers
Printers and Prepress technicians
Motion Picture Producers
