Graphic design and Web design share some similarities but are two different practices that require different approaches and techniques. Graphic Design is the use of graphics, typography, graphs, and images to communicate an idea. Graphic designers can work on both print projects and digital projects. Unlike Web Design, Graphic Design only concerns the creation of graphics for use on websites or in print. Graphic Designers do no programming.
Web Design is also the creation of graphics, typography, graphs, and images to communicate an idea on Websites, not print. Web Designers are responsible for creating Websites that are aesthetically pleasing and load quickly. Web Designers also face certain restrictions that Graphic Designers do not such as mobile responsiveness, file size and image resolution.
Web designers plan, conceptualize, and arrange content and visual elements on Websites. Web designers are responsible for coding, designing, and building the user interface (UI) and navigation for Websites. They also develop the visual layout of desktop and mobile Website designs. Designers will test and optimize layouts to ensure they meet business standards.
