the art or profession of using design elements (as typography and images) to convey information or create an effect; also : a product of this art

Graphic Designers are not just computer oriented. I teach Graphic Design - both hand work and computer - and you actually need very good drawing skills to compete in the market. The following is just a short excerpt from a handout my students receive for the class. Maybe it will help clarify a little. smile.gif

"Graphic Designers are people with a desire to create. Creativity is crucial in all design occupations. People in this field must have a strong sense of the esthetic - an eye for color and detail, a sense of balance and proportion, and an appreciation for beauty. Designers also need excellent communication and problem-solving skills. Despite the advancement of computer-aided design, sketching ability remains an important advantage in most types of design, especially fashion design. A good portfolio - a collection of examples of a person’s best work - often is the deciding factor in getting a job. They combine practical knowledge with artistic ability to turn abstract ideas into formal designs for the merchandise we buy, the clothes we wear, the Web sites we use, the publications we read, and the living and office space we inhabit. Designers usually specialize in a particular area of design, such as automobiles, industrial or medical equipment, home appliances, clothing and textiles, floral arrangements, publications, Web sites, logos, signs, movie or TV credits, interiors of homes or office buildings, merchandise displays, or movie, television, and theater sets, just to name a few."
