More and original on my Creative blog
When I started my career as a graphic designer two decades ago, I spent most of my time creating print layouts design such as posters, books, flyers, leaflet, advertising and brochures. But in today’s digital world, the field of “graphic design” is huge and constantly evolving.
Although there are differences in skills and output methods between print design and digital design, I believe that the aesthetics between them share the same basic principles and that a graphic designer/art director/creative director who works primarily with print understand the key differences between them, can surely produce great digital creatives.
Just what are the biggest difference between print design and digital design?
Graphic design is the foundation of both print and digital design, except that print design will ultimately be a physical print product, while digital design will ultimately be publish in digital/ electronic media.
(Brand design/CI (logos, creative brand management) is also part of graphic design.)
