Graphic designers can work at small or large corporations, newspapers and magazines, or with an online company, but their duties and responsibilities are often the same. Your main duty as a graphic designer would be to create an appropriate piece of art or design based on a client's wants and needs. One of your most important responsibilities would be to create something memorable or eye-catching in order to draw attention to a product being advertised. Graphic designers are responsible for creating both 2-D and 3-D designs for everything from posters to postcards to product packaging. You might create graphics for use in print and online, lay out a page of text and graphics, help with the development of maps, design brochures, set type, or draw an original illustration.
