A Graphic Designers role is to create visual concepts to communicate information. They create everything from posters and billboards to packaging, logos, and marketing materials.
Graphic Designers use elements such as shapes, colours, typography, images, and more tools to convey ideas to an audience. There are many roles in Graphic Design from Art Director, Creative Director, Product Designer, Digital Marketing Manager, Graphic Designer and many more. These are all depending on your experience and in which direction you would want to go as a designer.
Graphic Design Short course
I would say my personal choice of style is minimal and clear, making sure the information and the type of design is visible, while looking good. As a Graphic Designer you need to be versatile and flexible enough in your designs to match the clients’ specific needs.
Therefore, the importance and need for constant skills training and development is required. This will not only help you keep up with the global trends for design, but also ensure you are able to execute the concepts being pitched.
Graphic Design is a huge industry, and you can often find yourself getting lost within it. It is important as a Graphic Designer to gain experience in the field you want to follow. Then aim to be at one of the big companies that are going to value you and give you a good market related salary.
There are many companies that do the same thing, but the beauty of design is that there are many roles that do different things as well. For example, a product designer will differ to a marketing and social media designer. It’s all about researching the types of roles that interest you and then putting in the hours to reach that level of competence.
