At a Glance
Basically, the graphic designer must be able to take their clients message for grabbing
customers attention and convert it to a graphical presentation instead of a verbal or written
presentation. They do this through their artistic talent mixed with their ability to use complex
graphical software to make the first proofs.
Their works of art may be used in printed brochures, magazines, television commercials,
billboards, and web pages. Any application where clients want to say it with pictures rather than
words is a possible project for a graphic designer.
The Workplace
Graphic designers work for a variety of industries. They can work for design firms, public
relations companies, advertisers, printers, and specialty design shops. They work in studios
where they can collaborate with other graphic designers to get ideas and alternate perspectives on
projects. In these studios, there will be drafting tables and powerful computer workstations that
can handle graphical software and the processing required for producing quality images.
In todays world of the internet, self-employed graphic designers can work from anywhere that
has the required workstation and graphical software. It is for this reason that a significant number
of graphic designers are self-employed. Self-employed designers typically work odd hours
because clients may be in other destinations across the globe or must meet after work.
