2. Graphic Design is Everywhere

Unless you're a student of graphic design or somehow involved in the business you probably don't notice many of the ways in which graphic design is implemented. However, once you realize what graphic design entails, you'll see that it's impossible to miss many of the examples of graphic design we are all exposed to every day. For example, if you have opened a candy wrapper or struck a match, you have seen an example of graphic design.

In much the same way that a writer works with words, the graphic designer works with visual images that are used to convey information. These visual images, which are often a combination of mediums, are often combined with text in order to convey a message. Business cards, newspapers, magazines, and billboards are just a few examples of graphic design at work.

Graphic designers have a diverse area to choose from when they decide to work in this field. The Internet has even broadened the spectrum when it comes to graphic design jobs as many of these jobs are now online, such as web design. Many graphic designers specialize and create things like logos, while other graphic designers take on a variety of assignments.

3. What does a Graphic Designer Do?

Some graphic designers design their own artwork to use in their career while others use software or stock photos in their various projects. Since graphic design uses a combination of various visual mediums, there is no one type of art used in this job. Before the advent of the Internet, graphic designers often sketched their ideas and some still do, but today, graphic design software is a popular format that these creative artists use to accomplish their tasks.

Graphic designers have to be concerned with more than just images, though. For example, if an artist is designing a product package, he or she also has to be concerned with the proper formatting of the text that is to go along with the design creation in order to present a fully formed and aesthetically pleasing package. This is the same situation graphic designers face when working with magazines or newspapers.

Some graphic designers will work with moving images, such as those artists that create video game graphics and animation. While this is more than a stone's throw from designing logos, they both fall under the umbrella of graphic design. Even something as mundane as road signs are created by graphic designers.

4. Education

Regardless of how much natural talent and creativity you might possess, you will most likely need some type of formal education in order to find employment as a graphic designer. This does not take into consideration the option of opening your own graphic design business, which we'll discuss later in this article. There are a variety of ways to go about getting an education in graphic design and we'll discuss some of those briefly here.

Much like other occupations, those involving graphic design are usually commensurate with education and experience. It really depends on what type of graphic designer you want to be as to what type of education you want to pursue. For example, if you want to design webpages, an education at a vocational school would suffice. You would learn how to use graphic design software and you would learn about other elements of digital design. This type of education would not teach anything about art or drawing; instead it would focus on computerized elements of graphic design.

If you're more interested in a graphic design career that would implement your own sketches and drawings, you would probably need to pursue a degree in fine arts. While there are some entry level positions offered to those with an associate's degree, the higher end graphic design jobs usually require a bachelor's degree.
