Graphic Artist Vs Graphic Designer Breakdown
- While a graphic artist worries about the content that should be created, a graphic designer puts the already created design into play. Basically, the graphic artist creates while the graphic designer uses the already created artwork to make a design.
- A graphic artist takes time in self and work development, they over the years look for things that they can create that can make them stand out, they need the popularity so that graphic designers can patronize them and use their arts for designs.
- The graphic artist spend time trying to grow themselves and make themselves popular so that they can get patronized. Their mode of business is.
- A graphic artist is usually just creative. They go to bed, wake up with a new creation in mind, and voila! They are creating it.
- No restraint, they can be just wild and free and expressive with his art, playing with colors as he deems fit, bringing to life what is in his mind, the typical artist's life, only instead of a paintbrush and a palette, they have a system. As it is in their heart, driven by passion.

- A graphic designer, on the other hand, doesn't need that much time to get good and to make money, their growth is based usually on their experiences, the more experienced they are the more job offers they get too.
- A graphic designer can source the net, and gather enough experience in one month and get paid higher than a graphic artist who has spent time developing their skills because they need to be known to be patronized.
- While a graphic designer is much more logical with these things. They need to work according to the guideline that was given, he/she knows what color should go where what line should go where, when what design is needed or not, where an artwork should go, the graphic design is not very expressive with his work, as most times works according to certain guidelines or directives were given by the client.

Kenal, you have some fantastic examples of your work and you look like a fun person to work with. You have some grammar errors you need to fix. Such as….
"Working with me this the visual representation you will get. "
You probably mean " this is the visual representation you will get".
