Have We Reached a Conclusion?

Well have we? We've talked about the differences between Web Design and Development and Graphic Design. We've talked about each career, what they comprise of and some other general things about them.

Could we go more in depth? Yes. Over two weeks of research into both careers shows that there are many more things you could consider; little details, some of which might depend on personal preferences. But we got the gist of it here. This blog and project is my journey into researching and discovering which of the two careers I would like to gear my academic studies to. I'm working toward a degree in Web Design and Development now, so you might say that switching to Graphic Design is a sort of step back, but Graphic Design as a title contains a broader spectrum of opportunities.

Although my journey was much longer than what I posted here, I think I have reached a personal conclusion. I am about halfway through the Web Design program at my college, so I will continue until I finish, but I would after that like to study Design. I like the specified field of web design, but jobs like working for an advertising firm or a company that creates designs for clients interests me just as much. I would like to have the basic skills I need for any of those fields.

So, my conclusion loud and clear is: I will finish the track of web design I am on, then study graphic design. Now is the time for education while I can get the loans and am at a stable point in my life, so I am going to go for it and see where my future takes me.


Remember, a web designer and graphic designer are similar. Their mediums and the programs they use are different, but the creativity is still there.
