The article gives an overall summary of graphic design. When people talk about graphic design, the first thing pops into my mind is logo design or web design. I have always considered graphic design as a art major. But after I read through this article, I realize graphic design is a problem-solving technique which apply in large categories of life. It’s not just about logo or web designing, it goes more deep into user experiences and personal needs in daily life.

The question I want to ask the author is: Since there are so types of design jobs, does a graphic designer have to pick her/his career path in college? I think it would be really hard to transfer from production designer to web designer. So for people who really want to have a career as a graphic designer, they should know the specific designer they wants to be and take skill courses in college.
