Graphic designers create visual content for branding, advertising, websites, social media, and print materials using tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma.

Graphic designers are needed in almost every industry including marketing agencies, tech companies, fashion brands, e-commerce, and media houses.

Creativity, attention to detail, typography knowledge, color theory, layout design, and proficiency in design software are key skills.

While a degree helps, many successful designers are self-taught or come from short courses and bootcamps — a strong portfolio matters the most.
