There are numerous graphic designers out there who really know their stuff when it comes to print design, brochure layout, and Pantone Matching System (pms). However, not all graphic designers are good web designers.Here in this article we will discuss about the web design and graphic design.
Web design is a totally different medium where the “paper size” (the screen resolution) changes for every viewer, colors don’t cost extra, fonts are limited to a select handful, and extra images might mean losing customers.
While it’s logical to assume that graphic design requires more artistic skills and Web designer requires more analytic skills, there is only a slight difference that you should consider that to be a web design you need the graphical element of design to understand communication that works, whether it’s how you arrange your work to convey an idea or the method of media you use to create a purpose and different narratives.
Web design and development are typically specialized jobs, as are many so-called  “computer jobs.” No one person designs, develops and maintains a site, but rather is part of a team; where as graphic designers can be individual to their own workings. There is an ongoing debate/battle between web and graphic designers and each are to the own. But as a graduate in graphic design it became clear that maybe the days of paper only publishing are becoming less than that on web.
With the amalgamation of some design areas; various graphic designers should be considering a knowledge in web design and not just the pointers and tips you get off the back of a cereal box but instead, have a good understanding of the software that is used to create these web solutions and the be aware of the ongoing changes in development that awards you with a proficient approach in how a web site are actually created and when built; how efficient a website can be for a client.
