VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Choosing between graphic design and visual communication can be particularly challenging for some artistically inclined students, as these fields are often very similar in nature and frequently confused. However, in reality, graphic design is actually somewhat different from the field of visual communication. Visual communication students will learn a broader range of subjects within a communication-focused specialization or career field and will be responsible for a comprehensive approach to communicating with clients or audiences visually. In contrast, graphic design is more narrowly focused on creating visual representations of key concepts within a visual communication method, such as advertising or web design. Before making a choice between these fields, consider their fundamental differences and professional responsibilities.
