Graphics Design

Graphic designers have a wide variety of duties and obligations. They are generally the most creative people in the office place and they are looked at to fulfill all creative roles. While being creative is definitely a requirement for this industry, it is also important to remember that if a client asks for something specific, that is what you have to do. So, no matter what they ask for in terms of their advertisement or illustration, you have to be able to deliver.
A fun part of the graphic design field is that there is the opportunity to induce change. Designers create ad campaigns that can and will become household names. While no one ever knows the face behind the advertisement, it’s a rewarding part of the job to know that your creation has become so well respected.

Designers who work in the world of the newspaper industry have the most varied day of all. They can be asked to create a logo or illustration in the morning, an advertisement before lunch and then paginate a newspaper or magazine in the afternoon. Graphic designers who work in the publishing industry (whether it be newspapers or books) will have more direction in their jobs and at times less room for creativity because their industry is very exact as far as where things need to go when putting together the final product.
