Georgie- Ann Getton

The article gave me a more descriptive view of what the possible daily tasks/jobs as graphic designer would have. Many people may not really think too deeply about the look of products but in actuality the appearance of a product and how to products design communicates with us is what gives us the incentives to make a purchase. I like the fact that the author was very descriptive about the titles of roles as you get better as a designer because I personally didn’t know what each level of design was referred to. Overall this article was very helpful to me and gave me a lot of clarity regarding to blank spaces I had in my mind about becoming a graphic designer.

My question to the author would be: Why do so many people who are not in the tech world not understand the value of a graphic designer?  I think the answer to this would simply be that graphic design reaches out more to ones subconscious than the conscious mind so they don’t see how huge the design of something has impacted them. Also Graphic design is thrown into the Art category and with so many business and medical focused students the Art students are not appreciated the way they should be.
