Is Graphic Design Dead? [Rant] http://youtu.be/mkPzs1KChOo Graphic Design is still a thriving profession, but many are experiencing a decline in clients or struggling to find or maintain employment within the Graphic Design industry.

There are more opportunities for Graphic Designers than ever before. However the traditional approaches to becoming a successful graphic designer are for the most part, no longer valid or relevant.

Also the market has become very saturated within the Graphic Design industry with all the access to online learning, education and software and hardware being more affordable.

Parts of the industry that were more exclusive and expensive to enter into are more accessible than before. Making competition and pricing more fierce. This has decreased the pricing of certain services considerably now that there are more providers.

The Graphic Design industry is thriving, but it also changing and evolving and Graphic Designers have to change their perspective to meet the demands of clients and employers and embrace new ways of pursuing work and demonstrating their value.

Designers have to leave behind the romanticism of being purely artist and learn to be marketers who can tell their story in a noisy world. This may sound distasteful to purist but it is a reality that they will have to accept if they want to scale and become successful and have the luxury of pursuing art at some point without being a "starving artist".

Learning how to be a successful marketer has allowed me to have the luxury of being an artist and making things for myself from time to time, so that when I have to create something for a client I can focus on pure empathy and their needs instead of what I want.

So is Graphic Design Dead? No, but in all likelihood it is not the industry that people remember if they were in the game 10 years ago. It's a brave new world that only rewards boldness, tenacity and a desire to be seen and heard by as many people as possible.
