There are a few key differences between Graphic design and Web Design.
There are graphics, typography, graphs, and images to communicate an idea in Graphic Design. Graphic designers can work on both digital projects and print projects. Unlike Web Design, Graphic Design only involves graphics for use on websites or in print. Whether it’s a magazine design or printed materials, children’s books tend to be less interactive than their digital counterparts. Graphic Designers do not do any programming.
Web Design is also the creation of graphics, typography, graphs, and images to convey an idea. However, Web Design only involves websites, not print. Web design focus on the web is how artistry can complete experiences people can interact with — experience in — rather than simply consume. They are not only into making a website but also responsible for the load it quickly. Thus, Web Designers face particular limitations that Graphic Designers do not. For example, they need to take into account things such as file size, image resolution, etc.
