Graphic designers are accredited professionals who use both their artistic and technical expertise to convey a visual message to their audience. Graphic designers work in every industry, including music, IT, utilities, and of course, advertising. Singly or in teams, graphic designers collect and assemble pictures, logos, and text to create a new digital or print message.
Successful graphic designers are able to take a concept and build a plan around it, ending with a finished product that meets their client’s needs. Strong artistic and technical skills are also required.
