After reading the article, I learned that graphic design is not only the art but also the process of visual communication. Graphic design has been used almost everywhere nowadays, from subway to school, from magazines to websites…It can be experienced instantly, over time, or minute to minute (which is also called interactive design).  That means, graphic design does not have just one category but many. And because of that, designers are not just “graphic designers” generally but depending on the field they specially work in and the level of their careers, they can also be UI/UX, web designer, production artist, experience designer, or copywriters…Moreover, since we live in the world of advanced technologies, some of these titles may change or there may even new titles in accordance with the changes of their fields.

My biggest question for the author is that is it good to be best at both graphic design and interactive design if I want to be an UI/UX designer? I know that they have different goals, one is more about visual and textual communications while the latter is more about the interaction between users and the sites/apps. Some graphic designers know a little bit about interactive design and vice versa.
