Graphic Designer

Educational

Instituions

Graphic designers work as an integral part of a creative team to develop a wide range of products, from advertising campaigns in newspapers and magazines, electronic media and outdoor advertising to print communications (brochures, flyers, annual reports, corporate image packages,) and more. Graduates of this program will also have proficiency in web design and illustration capabilities

Skills

Listen - First and foremost, graphic designers need to be able to listen. Listen to clients, the targeted audience, their boss and their subordinates. How else will the designer understand the message or the product without listening to what the client needs and wants.

Manage Time Effectively - No graphic artist has unlimited amounts of time to create a project. Being able to stay organized and know how long it takes to finish tasks is a necessary skill to be able to produce quality designs with a looming deadline.

Attend to Details - The graphic designer is the last line of defense before a project goes to print or is live online. Projects need to be free of minor flaws to increase the designer's and the client's integrity and credibility.

Solve Problems - All graphic design projects have obstacles, knowing how to overcome them is crucial

Be Flexible - Graphic designers will get opportunities to work with various types of individuals and companies. An ability to cater other people's needs and skill levels is crucial to working in the fast paced world of graphic design.
