What is a Graphic Artist/Designer?
Graphic Artists and Designers' prepare camera-ready copy for any type of printed materials including business cards, stationary, brochures, advertising, packaging, book covers, and many other types of materials.
This field includes signs, architectural graphics, film, television, video, computer related imagery, web banner design, mobile apps, and motion graphics. A graphic artist or designer is able to do all of these tasks and any of these people may call themselves graphic art designers.
In a large agency they work on a team with the Art Director, a Creative Director and the Assistant Art Director. After the clients' approve the design a layout artist orders the type and produces the graphic design. Then a paste-up mechanical artist prepares final copy. Each project ideally would have a timeline and work scope for each set of the way.
The amount of design involved in the job depends on the type of client and the amount of direction provided by the director. Web graphics designers are responsible for all content, creations and development of these websites and other integrative online environment.
The Creative Art Director
Andrea Jayne Villasenor
Upon graduating from F.I.D.M. location in Los Angeles CALIFORNIA in 2000, I worked in the advertising, fashion, and entertainment industries as a visual display artist, an illustrator and a graphic designer. Most of my professional work and project experience is from being hired as an employee for several commercial print houses in Orange County and Los Angeles, CA. The other experience is with big box retailers as a sales representative and specialist for global beauty brands' under the L'Oreal umbrella. Being classically trained in the arts allowed for my knowledge to be applied to different sectors of business industries. Intertwined is my freelance project work within the music and beauty industry. I would create start up logo designs', party flyers, stickers, cassette covers and as technology changed CD cover artwork that would represent the artist. Most of my art would be print production ready in the early 80's and 90's. My family had a construction business and we had our own XEROX machine. This was what I used to enlarge, carbon copy flyers and cassette covers before digital art. Let's create your future now.
Be CREATIVE & IMAGINE the possibilities!
