Graphic design is a financially rewarding career for creative individuals.  While graphic design jobs have been difficult to acquire over the past few years, some demand will always exist, particularly for those who possess other skills like web design or specific software knowledge.

A graphic designer communicates ideas and messages through a visual medium.  Graphic design is used in three main types of media: print, digital and production credits for TV and movies.  A graphic designer's main duties vary by medium and by the type of company they work for.

Obtaining employment in the design field typically requires a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts.  Having an understanding of color, proportion, spacing, font use and an eye for aesthetics is very important.
