They collaborate with clients or marketing teams to determine the scope of a project, create designs using software, select colors and images, and present the final design for approval. This role involves a lot of creativity, along with knowledge of the latest design trends and software. Important skills for a graphic designer include attention to detail, problem-solving skills, excellent communication abilities, and a strong understanding of design principles. Some certifications that could enhance a graphic designer's skills are Adobe Certified Expert (ACE), Certified Graphic Designer (CGD), and Certified Professional in Graphic Design (CPGD).

Another possible role is a Production Artist, a job that involves executing the design concepts of the creative team, preparing files for print or digital publication, and making last-minute tweaks to projects. Some graphic designers also get their start as Freelance Designers, taking on various projects to gain experience and establish a professional network.
