I Am a Graphic Designer

No one really just wants graphic designers anymore. I'm learning that Graphic Design is a dying profession.

Everyone just wants ux designers (user experience) amd ui designers (user interface) and assumes every designer knows how to create ui and ux designs.

These are the definitions

[b]Graphic Design[/b]: the art or skill of combining [b]text and pictures in advertisements, magazines, or books.[/b]

[b]UI Design[/b]: User interface design (UI) or user interface engineering is the design of user interfaces for [b]machines and software, such as computers, home appliances, mobile devices, and other electronic devices,[/b] with the focus on maximizing usability and the user experience.

[b]UX Design[/b] User experience design (UX, UXD, UED or XD) is the process of enhancing user satisfaction with a product by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction with the product. [b] ie making websites user friendly [/b]

All of these things are different branches of design. There are degrees that are seperate for each one. I have a graphic design degree.

I thought going to Graphic design school would be profitable. I have always heard it was a prosperous career. Though in reality its UX and UI design thats getting people places in this day in age. Hardly anyone uses print anymore.

Point of story: I'm having a hard time finding a job.

True. I just finished browsing through internship offers and UI, UX was mentioned everywhere. Thanks for explaining what it is. I saw these abbreviations for the first time. 馃槓

@CrazyMusicLover Exactly. Its unfortunate I've found out so late. Maybe I should go back to school, Id rather not to be honest.
