Web Design Vs Graphic Design - What's the Difference?

In this video I want to talk about the difference between Graphic Design and Web Design. So what is the real difference between the two roles. What is Graphic Design Vs Web Design?

With the onset on new applications and platforms these roles are getting closer and closer. Platforms such as Wordpress and Wix are making web design more accessible than ever without the need of a DEEP knowledge of coding.
Now, can anyone jump on one of the platforms and produce a website, well sure, but it takes a real designer to establish a quality product that follow brand identity and goals. This is why web designers and graphic designers a like are so important.
Let's talk about graphic designers vs web designers.
It's really simple!
Graphic designers main role, without blurring any lines or making them do something that is not in there wheel house is as follows:
Logo design, advertising design, print design (including magazine layout, book layout, annual reports, and so forth), web banners, as well as branding. So basically anything that involves creative problem solving that includes the intangible and intangible layout of elements (line, color, imagery, illustrations, shape, text, etc...)
Web designer, well they design websites. It's that simple. They do not know a DEEP a mount of code, but they do know enough to make themselves dangerous with a wordpress theme.
I have a firm understanding a how to create wordpress websites. It is my personal opinion that it is extremely helpful for graphic designers to understand how to design websites. Why? Brand consistency. If I am designing a logo, letterhead, business card, and some ads for a company it only makes sense that I would have the firmest grip on the design aesthetics to carry the branding across multiple design pieces.
Are graphic designers and web designers the same? Not at all! But it is my opinion that a graphic designer who can perform web design skills is extremely beneficial and has greater usefulness to a client.

Which is the best web design and graphic designing

[@olsenetienne3796]

hey Ben i have just finished with my studies at 18 years old so i love specialist computer and i don't how many domain it maintains but i love graphic design so haven't you any advice for me?

[@BenGKaiser]

I am not sure what you are trying to ask. Can you please restate your question. I would love to help. Thanks, Ben.

[@jenwu636]

Hi Ben, Since there are so many graphic designers now looking into transitioning into an Ui designer. Being able to make an appealing design becomes a bottom line. What are some skills that an Ui designer can have to make themselves stand out? I know as an Ui designer you need to think about user experience, but besides that, what are things that distinguish the differences between a graphic designer and an Ui designer? It just seems to me that whoever is very good at graphic design can easily pick up a Ui designer role??

[@BenGKaiser]

I would always recommend getting really good at creating apps and websites that are very easy to use. If you can create really intuitive designs than you will increase your value.

[@drunkengamer3788]

Hi Ben G Kaiser I need help in courses to choose for university as i am applying soon i'am 18 and need 6 career choices have any in mind related to Software Development and Web&Graphic design cause i feel those will help me on my youtube channel i want careers that will help me apply them to my KZbin channel , advertisements, bringing my creativity, related to creating, editing and making money as a social media influencer. I am interested in software development (and what i've mentioned in the above text) may i ask What are other courses similar to software development ? -Also Ben G Kaiser do you think personally graphic designing is better than web design? 2) A graphic designer can easily get into the space of a web designer and exel in it you said what makes that happen? What are other courses similar to web&graphic design

[@kevariblackwood9583]

Hey man thanks for the vid it's appreciated

[@BenGKaiser]

So glad you found the video helpful!

[@anewme5140]

Thank you for sharing!! Your video is very enlighting!! Now I know where to start. But do I need to have great/good drawing skills in order to become a graphic designer first and then move on to web/multimedia design? Perhaps I should first teach myself how to properly draw and paint first? Thank you in advance!

[@BenGKaiser]

No, you do not necessarily need good drawing skills, but it can be helpful for sure.

[@remedioszacarias5309]

Just learn the elements of art and put them in your work and heart. 😃

[@marcopoloondiscovery]

Ben, your comments and definitions are very accurate. A traditional graphic designer from the print-only era is much better equipped with his/her aesthetics education and concepts to design a website with all those values concerning composition, typography, colour schemes and corporate image, etc. Thank you!

[@johndouglaswilson7504]

Thankyou this was helpful.

[@BenGKaiser]

So stoked you found this helpful!

[@juwairiyakhanam8495]

I have actually finished my secondary school and was thinking about doing some course and idk whether web or graphic designing

[@davidvegas6112]

Kudos for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you researched - Fiymaria Graphic Gainer (google it)? It is a smashing one off guide for getting the best graphic design for your project without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin got amazing results with it.

[@Annn424]

I want to go in a course for graphic or web design but I don't know what to choose 😅

[@mourbatsalim4830]

THANK YOU MAN

[@marouanouira9523]

I actually graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance, but then decided to do a gap year before doing my master's. During my gap year, I have started exploring other fields; like graphic design and video editing. I am new to your channel, and I find your videos very interesting because you always bring different perspectives to a subject. I think graphic design is a powerful tool because it allows you to communicate your ideas visually and thus more clearly. Thank you and good luck with your channel!

[@BenGKaiser]

Yeah, I love your words, "graphic design is a powerful tool because it allows you to communicate your ideas visually and thus more clearly." I could not agree more with this line! :) What are you taking for your masters degree?

[@drunkengamer3788]

WHAT ARE YOU TAKING FOR YOUR MASTERS?

[@banzouzieliandre5336]

thanks

[@MzS_92]

Thanks for sharing...

[@BenGKaiser]

You are most welcome! Thanks for the comment!

[@CrysiWhit]

Hi Ben. I am torn between choosing Graphic Design and Web Design as my major. I have always enjoyed the design aspect, and creating content on the web. I was the design editor in Yearbook throughout high school. I also used to use codes to design my MySpace page daily! Lol. I saw you say that Web Design brings in more money than Graphic Design... With that being said, my community college offers both. Do you think I should give Web Design a shot?? Thanks! Crystal

[@user-xv7eb5ct9f]

what did you end up doing web or graphic design? i feel like either route you take theres so much to learn and develop but you cant do both at 100%, but it almost seems like web design and graphic design now more than ever are so interrelated like anyone who needs a logo or business card will most also ask if you do web design, so your best bet is to submerge yourself into both.

[@incimammad4312]

If i know photoshop,sketch,indesign,illustrator,xd,animation.shall i be web designer.please reply🖤🖤

[@BenGKaiser]

When you put all of those skills together you are moving towards a full set of skills that make up a web designer. Are you learning wordpress or coding websites yourself?

[@incimammad4312]

Ben G Kaiser coding is diffucult for me.only i know about coding a little bit.i want to know if i dont know coding, does it prevent me for being web designer?

[@BenGKaiser]

No, it does not prevent you....but it does help in some ways. Having a basic understanding of HTML is SUPER handy. Using Wordpress and the plugin Elementor is the way to go! That is how I build all of my site now.

[@livelovelaugh473]

I read somewhere along the lines, that it is helpful if web designers know code. And that the web designers that know code get paid more than the ones that don't.

[@zandrosia]

Im new subscriber i have been a graphic designer for a long time, I plan to ship in web design, is adobe xd ?

[@MomoManimi]

Thanks for this video! Im at a bit of a crossroads. I have a choice between earning a free a Web Design & Animation certificate... and earning a graphic design certificate. I'm an artist so i'm naturally inclined to go with the graphic design course but i can't help feeling like earning a GD certificate wouldn't get me anywhere unless i go to college an earn a degree. But Web design is a great skill to have and the industry pays more..... I wanna take them both but i can't..

[@BenGKaiser]

Go for Webdesign you can teach yourself graphic design on the side. :)

[@MomoManimi]

Would you mind explaining why? Is a web design certificate more necessary? Or more (all) encompassing? I'm curious

[@BenGKaiser]

It is far more technical and I would say requires far more focus.

[@bgu5817]

Thanksgiving for giving me this information about graphic design but still I'm not getting well what about web design but my aim was graphic design I wanna join tonight inshallah

[@supermantien3999]

I know graphic design program and they got coding courses in the program now

[@mayrebap]

which brings more money?

[@BenGKaiser]

Web Design. But do you like coding, or do you like more of the designing and creating?

[@mayrebap]

@@BenGKaiser I'm new to these things

[@marryannamantillo1514]

thanks

[@victormendoza3295]

I can do all of it, but weakest in graphic design. I am almost done coding a website without a css framework...

[@anikscreation2775]

😍❤

[@lll3255]

A web designer can do graphic design work, while it’s a bit harder for a graphic designer to do web design work? Is this right?

[@lll3255]

Do web designers have more knowledge than graphic designers? Because they know the elements of design and more

[@supermantien3999]

Web designers need to code too lol html csd JavaScript is considered as basic these days

[@doniamustafa8667]

real web designers don't need to use wix or something else,right!

[@BenGKaiser]

I have seen some fantastic designers use wix and produce some great work. It is less about the platform you use and more about how you execute the use of that platform.
