[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 506315, member: 2960"] That is because many people lump a number of distinct yet very different fields under the moniker "Graphic Design". Graphic Design, traditionally, is simply print work. Magazine, newspaper, billboards, packaging, etc. Web Design is similar, but still a requires a different skill set in addition to Graphic Design. Web Development is even more involved. Multimedia Design is for things like video, DVD authoring, interactive Flash design, and motion graphics. Again, based on the core principles of Graphic Design yet a much more involved skill set. 3D Design, again same but different. 3D Animation is worlds apart. All of those latter mentioned fields use the basic principles of Graphic Design, yet would require further study. What works in a design intended for Web would not work or translate to printed material. Same goes for broadcast designs.... etc. To lump them all under the umbrella of "Graphic Design" is somewhat of a misnomer. If you want to do something other than printed work like Web Design or Video, then you would need to study in a curriculum specifically suited towards that goal. [/QUOTE]
