Web designers make websites like Facebook appealing, eye-catching, and graphically functional.
Web developers make websites like Facebook work.

I daresay the developers are paid more because they are computer programmers, not just graphic designers on Macs. (And no, having a Mac isn’t required; it’s cheaper but not as elitist to have a PC).

Answer by Profound
digital design is the creation design for viewing purposes on the computer or for print.
web design is the creation of graphics to be incorporated onto a site..
for instance, yahoo is web design, someone created buttons, logos, gradient tables, etc.. and then they incorporated the process of html, asp, javascript, and so forth so you may navigate thru their site.

they are similar in the overall design concept, only web design is more focused on making a site look pretty then coding it for usage.

i would recommend googling more info, or talking to the school/instructors to get more In Depth details about the courses…

Web Designing ( is for designing for web applications ) i.e websites its color, page height and length, text and the look of the web page and so on. But then graphic design is designing animation cartoons or editing a photograph of abraham Lincoln into color and doing other stuff.

A web designer focuses more on the looks of the site : the way it is arranged, the graphics, etc.

The web developer is the one that focuses on how the site works, the type of coding (CSS, PHP, Flash, JavaScript, HTML, security, etc) or interface.

I guess comparing them both would be like comparing an architect and an structural engineer. The latter one would probably have more job opportunities since that takes more studying.

What are the differences between web design and graphic design and which career should I choose?

Question by xxxxharlequingirlxxxx: What are the differences between web design and graphic design and which career should I choose?
I am currently a junior in high school (also taking classes at the local college to get ahead) and want to have a career in some sort of computer based designing, but I can’t choose. The two I’m mainly considering are web design and graphic design. I personally would prefer being in graphic design, but I hear that the income isn’t that great, and I’m not that creative or decisive, so I’m leaning towards web design. I’m just not that sure, though.
I’m trying to find out class and skill requirements, annual salary, and maybe more details about each career. Also personal input would be great, too!

Web design is pretty much what it sounds like- it’s designing for the internet, whether it’s creating websites or working in programs like Flash. Also, you do have to be some what creative when designing websites, but I know some web design majors who prefer the coding part rather than the design part.

Graphic design is designing mostly for print, with some designing for the web (ex: banner ads). In graphic design you can do numerous things like working on layouts for magazines, creating logos or designing packaging for consumer goods.

As far as income goes, it all depends on where you live, how much experience you have and what your job title is. A junior designer obviously won’t be making as much as a senior designer or an art director. You’ll just have to do some of your own research to figure out how much a graphic designer makes versus a web designer.

I will tell you from personal experience that there does seem to be a lot more web design jobs out there. I majored in graphic design and although I enjoy what I do, its been really tough finding a full-time job, but hopefully the economy will get better soon!
