Despite variations, there are some common threads. Here are some of the things you are going to find yourself doing as a graphic designer: Meeting or communicating with clients to understand what they want out of a project, and helping them get those ideas out in a workable way; Designing advertisements, annual reports, artwork, books and their covers, brochures, logos, magazine covers, signs, stickers, tee shirts, web pages and other branding and communication materials; Revising a design brief so it fits a client’s budget and ideas more closely; Creating designs by hand, drawing or painting—or using computer software to achieve similar ends; Pitching an idea of how to actualize a client’s project; Revising a design or project deliverable to meet specifications; Learning how to use a new software or program; Working as part of a team to create a larger design, or to complete a small portion of a big project, such as perfecting a unique font; Finding other creatives like photographers, writers or illustrators for a specific project
