Web Designing ( is for designing for web applications ) i.e websites its color, page height and length, text and the look of the web page and so on. But then graphic design is designing animation cartoons or editing a photograph of abraham Lincoln into color and doing other stuff.
Obaid anwsered this question right, listen to him.
I do both Web and print design and reflect i can help you answer this question.
In general, Graphic Design is usually related to print and art made via a computer. Web design is art strictly for the web, such as web templates, graphics etc.
If you are certainly wanting to do only web design, i suggest you take any classes related to web design and theory, as well as classes on programs such as Fireworks, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver.
These are the main tools that web designers use today
In college I was a graphic design major and now I am a freelance web designer. After I got my degree, I went back to get a certificate in web design and authoring. It’s fantastic you are interested in web design, because that field is really growing, and many businesses always need upgraded, professional sites.
Graphic design courses are fantastic to take, because you learn about typography, page layout, and creative presentation, and this spurs your creativity. Some of the basic web courses are included in the graphic design degree. Most colleges do also offer a web design certificate, which enables you to learn the web tools and programs, such as dreamweaver, photoshop, and flash. Make sure you take a course on css, which is a must for web designers.
Hope I helped, and excellent luck!
