GRAPHIC DESIGNERS JOB DESCRIPTION
A graphic designer creates posters, bus wraps, billboards, packaging, branding and marketing materials, depending on the industry—graphic designers work at magazines, advertising and marketing agencies, or everything you see or touch. Selecting photos and typefaces, and developing layouts for advertisements, annual reports, websites, electronic media, television graphics, brochures, logos, business cards, menus, magazines and other projects are also part of the gig. Flexibility is important too, If the client’s vision doesn’t align with yours, you have to make the necessary adjustments. And you have to be able to take criticism: Clients are vocal and sometimes indecisive. (Don’t take it personally.) Graphic designers are employed by advertising agencies, design companies, publishers and other businesses that need design professionals. Most graphic designers earn bachelor's degrees. These programs allow them to develop design and technical skills, and develop portfolios that can help them obtain employment after graduation.
GRAPHIC DESIGNERS EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Earning a certificate or associate's degree in graphic design may qualify graduates for assistant or technical support positions in the field. However, most graphic design positions require at least a bachelor's degree. You may benefit from attending one of the more than 300 schools approved by the National Association of Schools and Art Design. As part of their graphic design prerequisites, some programs only admit applicants who have completed at least one year of art and design courses. Admission may also entail submission of sketches and other artwork. Plenty of graphic design schools in New York, for example, require a design portfolio as part of their admission process. Along with a formal education, graphic designers should be artistic and creative and have strong verbal, visual and written communication skills. Designers often work independently and must meet strict deadlines, so the ability to manage time and stay on schedule is important. Business, marketing, and sales skills are also beneficial for this career, especially for graphic designers who are self-employed.
GRAPHIC DESIGNERS SALARY OUTLOOK
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of graphic designers was expected to increase 4% from 2020-2030. As of 2020, graphic designers earned a median salary of $75,000 as of May 28, 2020, but the salary range typically falls between $45,500 and $114,000. Graphic designers with expertise in computer systems design can look forward to more employment opportunities, whereas designers working in print publishing will see a decrease in jobs. Salary ranges can vary widely depending on many important factors, including education, certifications, additional skills, the number of years you have spent in your profession.

Be passionate about your work. Being a graphic designer is not as easy as other people think. If you choose this career for a living, that’s good. But don’t design only for money.
Be original. Remember to become successful, you should be known for the original stuff you make. Copying others work practice purpose is good, you’ll learn new techniques by doing so. But don’t copy other designers work exactly then claiming that you own it.
Develop your communication skills. Being a graphic designer, it is essential to have a good communication skill. When you talk to your client for a project, it is important to fully understand what they ask for a design so can deliver what they wanted.
Keep practicing everyday. Practice every day if you have spare time. Open your Photoshop and design something. It lets you improve your skills and become more familiar with the design techniques.
Continue studying. Invest in education to expand your knowledge and improve your skills. You should be eager to invest time to get good education and become a well experienced professional. This can help you gain more confidence can be more trusted to deliver the best and contemporary designs.

A lot of graphic designers specialize in either print or digital media.
In my professional career I have worked in digital advertising and marketing, where deliverables for graphic designers would include:
- mood boards for brands/campaigns/websites/products
- concepts for brands/campaigns/websites/products/pitches
- digital collateral and deliverable design
- pitch presentations
- storyboards for videos concepts or animations
- page-level design comps using Adobe tools and nowadays I see a lot of people switching to Sketch
- prototype building
- responsive design creation
- design system creation and documentation
- production work: redlined comps, cut assets
...and much more.
Depending on your seniority, you might be asked to either own a complete deliverable, work in tandem with someone else, or get assigned a smaller part of a whole piece.

It depends a lot on the company/agency you work for. For instance, in my job I'm responsible for creating and designing PPT and Google Slides presentations, brochures, booklets, web assets, videos, storyboards, campaign design collaterals, wall designs/murals, social media assets, reports etc. There's also the UX/UI designs that we get involved in as well as AR experiences. But again it depends a great deal on the nature of the firm or agency you work in.
Best wishes! :)

It will vary wildly based on your job title and where you work. Some design jobs may only be print work, or only digital. Some may only do animation, some may only work on websites.
In my job, I work on a wide variety of assets. Flyers, brochures, email design/assets, web/print ads, trade show booths, social media graphics, animations, PPT presentations, stationery, etc. I am lucky that I get to dip into lots of areas of print and digital design. My job title is Senior Graphic Designer.
Looking at job listings for various types of design jobs could help give you an idea of what skills are needed and what assets would be created. Some different job titles I think could be good to look into include User Experience Designer (UX Designer), User Interface Designer (UI Designer), Interactive Designer, Digital Designer, Motion Graphics Designer, Graphic Designer.
