I know that there are hardly any jobs in print design. I posted this question because I want you opinions on what you think about the whole "Print is dying and Web is taking over" thing. I think it’s true. So how would you advise a graphic design student or graphic designer who just graduated?

As a designer who does both web and print I can tell you that print won’t be dead for a while you. It’s not that print is really dying, it’s just that web is growing so fast and evolving so rapidly, in comparison, print only seems to be dying all the quicker.

In any case, as far as Flash goes, most web designers and developers really aren’t as much of fans of it as we once were. The problem with Flash is the sites take longer to load, people tend to abuse and overuse the animation, it isn’t search engine friendly, and sites made in flash are more difficult to update. I think Flash is actually dying, or at least Flash as we use it today. With all the new developments in HTML5, JQuery, and CSS 3, you can still get almost all of the animation effects of Flash in a website, and it’s much cleaner, easier to produce, and less problematic for the user. So no, I personally wouldn’t say it’s important to learn Flash.

If you decide to go into web design, eventually it’ll be beneficial to learn a bit of Flash, but it shouldn’t be on the top of your learning priorities.

Best of luck in you career!! :)

Well, I plan to become a graphic Designer, especially for Abercrombie and Fitch. I have been drawing graphic designs ever since I was a little girl. Its either this or a dermatologist.
Ok, Italia, mind explaining why I can’t design at Abercrombie? Isnt it just be good at it and your in?Or design school? I dont know thats why im asking

From my experience in the design world Abercrombie probably hires freelance designers and buys their designs off them. If you want to be a graphic designer, go to a good college with a graphic design major. And make sure the school has good internship opportunities. Take it even further and research where the headquarters for Abercrombie is and find a school in that state.

Delicious, luscious, creative and colourful – all words I associate with Marianne Hartley and her love of beauty and her passion to bring the essence of an individual or a company in to their artwork. She describes the process of creating an ‘identity’ for a business with characteristic poetry. Bringing the individual strands together to create one cohesive beating heart. Listen on….

I really want to become a Graphic Designer because I think that it would become a great career for me and I have a lot of artistic qualities, and i have been drawing and messing around with photoshop, and alot other photo munipulation programs alot too. What steps do I need to take to become a graphic designer, be sides getting a degree, but actually getting a job doing it?
Thank you!

I would advise working with some more advanced programs, working with drawing as well as a design. It’s also important to develop a well-rounded portfolio, not just in graphic and digital media, but traditional as well. While you’re getting a degree for graphic design, it’s likely you’ll be able to obtain an internship through a career office at the school you’re going to. Alternatively, you can contact design firms where you may be interested in getting a job, and ask if you can send them a copy of your portfolio, or make thumbnails (little post cards, essentially) to let them know that you’re around, and what your skills are. Be sure you’re ready for a critique though.

Graphic design is a field of artistic expression; the skills of a graphic designer provide a steadier income than other artistic fields. For instance, graphic designers are generally employed more often than other types of designers attempting to create large, overpriced decorative masterpieces.
