Online Graphic Design Courses

What is graphic design, and what do designers do?

Designers create visual ideas from the ground up, either by drawing digital images from scratch (like a logo, brand mascot, or font), or using existing images to format with text on a page to create web pages, brochures, magazine ads etc.  So many of the things we think about in terms of brands are wrapped up in graphic design. Just for a moment, think about a brand you like. Chances are, a visual association comes to mind. The Xbox logo, the color of a Coke can, the Disney font, a Domino’s Pizza box…it’s hard to even think about these brands without envisioning these iconic design elements. 

Career in graphic design

Graduates of graphic design courses can expect to choose from a wide variety of careers, with a job that is never quite the same from day to day. Some examples of design careers include logo and web design, photo editing, print and publication formatting, multimedia design, apparel graphic design, and UI design.
