As a graphic designer, you'll need to listen to clients and understand their needs before making design decisions
A graphic designer works on a variety of products and activities, such as websites, advertising, books, magazines, posters, computer games, product packaging, exhibitions and displays, corporate communications, and corporate identity, i.e. giving organizations a visual 'brand'.
You'll work to a brief agreement with the client, creative director, or account manager and will develop creative ideas and concepts. The appropriate media and style have to be chosen to meet the client's objectives.
The work demands creative flair, up-to-date knowledge of industry software, and a professional approach to time, costs, and deadlines.
