More about what people think...

As you can see from my video that I posted, many people are confused with the idea of a graphic designer. There are some people in the world that still believe that an artist isn't a real job. If any type of hobby or activity takes up at least 8 hours of someone's day, then I believe it should be considered a job even if they are not being paid for it at the time, they may be offered money in the future. And artists usually become obsessed with their work so they work on their creations for AT LEAST 8 hours a day. Most artists lock themselves in their studio for days and weeks at times. Graphic designers may become this obsessive also, but it is a more accepted job in today's society. Without graphic designers, you wouldn't see the McDonald's golden arch, the Nike swoosh, the FedEx symbol with the arrow showing, or any other logos you can think of! n wikipedia, it states that "A graphic designer is a professional within the graphic design and graphic arts industry who assembles together images, typography or motion graphics to create a piece of design. A graphic designer creates the graphics primarily for published, printed or electronic media, such as brochures and advertising. They are also sometimes responsible for typesetting, illustration, user interfaces, and web design, or take a teaching position, although these specialties may be assigned to specialists in various graphic design occupations. A core responsibility of the designer's job is to present information in a way that is both accessible and memorable." These are the actual responsibilities that graphic designers have and it still continues from here. Graphic designers are taking on more and more tasks in companies from just designing layouts to actually developing software for the company. Graphic designing will soon become one of the most important jobs in society.
