I found this general description of a Graphic Designer on a website and it made me wonder:
Why do people think Graphic Designers can do absolutely everything, when they don't expect the same from a Photographer or Web Designer?
Interested in your thoughts.
This description pretty much describes my idea of a Graphic Designer. However, adverts for Graphic Design jobs these days require you to be an Illustrator, photographer, web developer, animator, video editor, Microsoft expert, IT Consultant, etc. The list seems to be endless.A graphic designer creates posters, bus wraps, billboards, packaging, logos and marketing materials, depending on the industry—graphic designers work at magazines, advertising and marketing agencies, and more. Selecting photos and typefaces, and developing layouts for advertisements, annual reports, brochures, magazines and other projects are also part of the gig.
