If you are truly interested in becoming an overall complete graphic designer, you are going to have to work in multiple graphic design formats when you create your different graphic designs. There are different formats for different types of design and for most of these formats there are specialized skill sets and experiences that you need to have down before you can hope to compete in the industry at large.
For example, one subsection of graphic design that you see a lot in your day-to-day life has to do with the newspaper. The layout of the newspaper is in and of itself a challenge of graphic design, especially when you consider the overall page and the positions of the different elements on the page. Likewise, the creation of very beautiful text (i.e. typography) is another format of graphic design that you are going to have to get used to. Many of these formats are interchangeable between the online and offline worlds however, so getting used to a new graphic design format might be easier than you think.
To give you an introduction into the wide world of different graphic design formats, the next posts will cover four of the major ones, some of which may have already been mentioned in passing on this blog before.
