A Graphic Designer is someone who is curious about all visual things, what it looks like and how to make it more effective.
Everything you see has an element of design to it. Some things are designed to be practical as it might have a specific function like a kettle for instance. A Graphic designer will deal with the pattern on the side of the kettle, and the colour, the box it fits into, the advertisement of the product, the Website of the brand.
Advertising agencies, Design agencies, Web companies, magazines or printing companies, and for a lucky few some of the bigger brands have in-house agencies – like Coke or Nike.
