What's the difference between graphic design and web developing?

I need to know this because I want to persue a career in freelance web design. When finding clients, do you keep your clients permanently (if they like your work) or is it all part-time or shirt-term? Are there any people with experience who can help?

What's the difference between graphic design and web developing?
Graphic design is making graphics in general and is not limited to computers....graphic design entails marketing in the real world, advertisements, etc.





Web development is, of course, programming websites for different clients.


A large company may hire you to be a full time webmaster....meaning you work at updating their own webpage constantly....some webmasters are freelance and can either be hired to do a one time web design for a person or company, or may be hired to make periodic updates.





Freelance web designers generally have several clients at once and work at home or their own office.


If you are a full time webmaster for a company you will generally work at the office of the company, such as the headquarters, and your main focus is solely to update and maintain their company website. (of course on the side in your free time you can have part time clients!)





Hope this helps :)
Reply:Graphic design and web development holds hands.





Graphic design spans a wide range of media and can be sub-dived into several disciplines, web designer, art directors, press designers, above the line below, the line... you name it.





A web developer is the technical computer monkey stitching codes together and solving problems with infinite probability's.





(A Graphic Designer is the creative fairy capable of anything with the right experience)





I would suggest getting the basics of Graphic Designing under your knee and then trying to climb the development Everest.





The secret to great websites is not only easily navigated user interfaces but also a strong idea, and appropriate graphics.


(Something lots of web developers neglect to include.)
Reply:A Web Developer does coding dealing with programming languages and a Graphic designers deal with more graphics, adobe photoshop, programs like that...
