10 Things No One Told Me About Being a Graphic Designer

In college, the term "graphic designer" seemed synonymous with "artist." In my recent experience, I've instead come to understand that there are different types of designers, including those I like to call "high volume creatives."

These individuals may or may not be creating artwork themselves--sometimes they are only editing existing artwork supplied by a customer, checking for problems with that artwork, or simply sending it along to production.
