What kind of job can utilize graphic design and web design skills?
Aside from the job of Graphic Designer and Web Designer… What kind of job can utilize graphic design and web design skills?
Yellow- So you are of the impression that only people who are JUST graphic designers do graphic designs? There are no other fields where that skill comes in handy?
that really doesnt make sense to me. If you are a graphic designer your work will be in the field of graphic design
Many jobs prefer that you have some web design skills in addition to graphic design. The web is really growing, and there is much more of a need for it. I would say any corporate job in the marketing department, or doing graphic design work for any business.

A marketing position in any company will utilize many of the skills you utilize as a graphic designer.
In addition, many companies would benefit from employees at any level with a graphic design background. Sign installation companies, small print shops, and even many print directories currently use only rudimentary graphic design, so graphic design skills in those businesses could dramatically increase business.
In addition, many car dealerships totally outsource web design for $1000s a month. An inhouse designer would save many dealerships a lot of money.
