Graphic designers can work as self-employed freelancers, in marketing and advertising agencies, or as employees in a wide array of industries. Graphic designers frequently work in logo and visual identity design, web design, marketing and advertising design, photo-editing, publishing, and layout design, and can serve as creative or art directors.
