Graphic Design refers to the traditional practice of design related to the graphic arts or printing industry. Today, a Graphic Designer primarily creates the graphics for published printed or electronic media, such as brochures or websites.

Communication Design is a broader and more current term that includes much more than the arrangement of the form and content of publications. Specialized areas such as Service Design, Interaction Design, and Motion Design, are among the new areas of design built on models of conversation and community that are broadly referred to as Communication Design. Communication Designers frequently collaborate with professionals from other disciplines to solve increasingly complex problems of society.
