What is graphic design?
Graphic design is a creative industry which combines art and creativity with commercial marketing. Graphic designers use design software to create designs for marketing use, that convey a visual message on behalf of the business that commissions them

This most frequently takes the form of design services such as logo identity design, advertisements, brochures, flyers and any other form of visual communication that a business would use to market their products and/or services to their intended customer base.

Because graphic design is a commercial activity which produces designs of actual financial value (ie an advertising campaign can generate money for said business) talented graphic designers can charge professional rates for their service and graphic design is a highly desirable career choice.

It's not unheard of for some graphic designers to be accomplished illustrators also and if so they are likely to incorporate their illustrative skills into projects that warrant it. For this reason you may find some of the design resources above relate to the illustration industry as well as the graphic design industry.
