Being a graphic designer differs from other creative occupations because there is less focus on individual artistic style. The role of designer is to provide problem solving through function and aesthetics. Our creations show how art can be incorporated into things we use on the daily. Some examples would be the design of your furniture, store signs, food logos, and more.

The more often that technology advances so does design. Designers are able to do more parts of the design process themselves because so many tools are available. Also graphic designers can use these tools to better individualize their design styles. Such as all the Adobe programs that allow designers to bring more variety to their portfolios.

Today in design it is most urgent for graphic designers to keep up with innovations in social and visual communication. Figuring out how to apply design to the world around us in a functional way. This means solving problems by also upholding visual interest to the consumers.
