What's the difference between graphic design and website design?

The difference between graphic design and website design lies in the use of tools and the designer's own experience.

Different tools:

The design of network industry needs animation software such as FIREWORKS, DREAMWEAVER and FLASH.

Graphic design covers a wide range, all drawings and advertisements are graphic design, as well as the packaging of goods, logo design, graphic design of houses, design and deformation of artistic figures and so on. I suggest learning both. At present, the basic requirement for finding a job in society is to know both. It is best to combine PHOTOSHOP with? COREDRAW 、?

FLASH, basic learning, 3D drawing software is the best to learn. Although it doesn't belong to graphic design, most graphic designers recruited by companies know graphic design, web design and 3D, which is very depressing. It is important to master the use of some software skillfully, but it is important to have your own creative design, which is very important at work, otherwise you will be an operator rather than a designer.

Graphic designer: Most of the requirements for printing require some knowledge of printing. Simple graphic design, such as making a supermarket signboard, is also graphic design. High-end graphic design should be creative, stylish, in-depth thinking and of commercial value, so that visitors can determine to continue their taste within 3 seconds. If you want to have a first impression, remember it, and finally achieve the effect of commercial publicity, it is easy to make a living as a graphic designer. If you really want to reach the international level, you must have extraordinary talent and hellish training.

Web designer: You need to know and even deeply understand the user experience. Web pages are interactive, but they don't look like print advertisements. As a high-end web designer, you need to know all kinds of web knowledge, clients, browsers, people and even psychology. A good work has two purposes. The first is to strengthen the impression in the browser's mind and enhance the customer's brand image (such as Dove, Coca-Cola, Mercedes-Benz and other big brands aim to expand their image and become the first choice for potential customers when they need it. What this kind of website needs to achieve is that a current rises from the soles of your feet and then dissipates when visitors browse, just like the feeling of love at first sight. Secondly, e-commerce companies that directly or indirectly generate orders (such as Taobao Mall, JD.COM1Good Shop) are very lively in design, and there must be a heartbreaking hawking. It's not just a price cut, it's a price cut with life. Therefore, a good web design is not only what you see, but also the psychological feelings of customers and the soul of a company or brand.
