Who is a graphics designer?

A graphic designer creates visual concepts, using computer software or by hand, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, or captivate consumers. They work in a variety of industries, including advertising, marketing, and publishing, and use their skills to create logos, brochures, websites, packaging, and other promotional materials.

  • Communication skills help to communicate, actively listen, problem-solve, and understand what clients and stakeholders need when collaborating on a project.
