Are you the sort of person that wants to do massive things with your life, and who detest the mere thought of living locally and catering to small businesses? Do you seriously want to design the next Coca-Cola logo? If that’s you, then move, baby, move! Head to New York and never look back. You may not actually want this as bad as you think you do, but either way, you’ll be miserable anywhere else. If, however, you’re more than content to remain in your home network, and don’t mind being a smaller shop on the map, stay where you are. A move might be too stressful for you, and the gains you’ll get from it are somewhat negligible.
Graphic design is the methodology of visual communication, and problem-solving through the use of type, space and image. The field is considered a subset of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term "graphic design" is used interchangeably with these due to overlapping skills involved. Graphic designers use various methods to create and combine words, symbols, and images to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use a combination of typography,visual arts and page layout techniques to produce a final result. Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated.
Graphic designers use communication skills, industry knowledge and computer design expertise to create advertisements for media ranging from newspapers to online platforms. Graphic design businesses wee projected to enjoy a 13 percent increase in business during the period from 2008 to 2018, notes the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This growth is due to constantly increasing demand for Internet and other interactive media advertising such as mobile phone applications. Graphic designers with strong animation and website design skills face the best prospects.
