i love the process of visual communication and problem solving using one or more typography, photography and illustration known as graphic design
I have often appreciated graphic design work, but I don't know much about it?  When was graphic design first used?
typically graphic designers create and combine symbols, images and text to form visual represenations of messages and ideas
I see.  Do you need any special education or degree to be a graphic designer?
they can get degrees in graphic designing to enter a career path that covers all ends of the creative spectrum
Oh OK.  Is there a particular part of graphic design that you like most?
corporate design is where the money is at.  they include logos and branding, editorial design, and advertising.
That is interesting.  I imagine you have to know a lot about computers in order to be successful.
