Most of them skillful in drawing, and fine arts such as drawing graffiti, comics, animations and so on. To become a graphic artist, one not neccessarily need a degree but need to be passionate, skillful , and creative. Most of the graphic artist are self-employed although some work as illustrator.

 Meanwhile, graphic designers are mostly work on corporate design and for company. They produce their artwork as per request of the company or the consumer. They produce logos, or symbol for advertise purpose and to publish something. They solve visual communication problems and convey message through visual.
