These days, almost every graphic design job you’ll chase will have some degree of web design as a requirement. There are very few print-only graphic design jobs anymore, and fewer every day as dinosaurs like me retire.

Which is better? You need both. At minimum, learn HTML, CSS, and Java Script, color theory, composition, typography, photography, design fundamentals, print production, and more.

Learn Adobe Creative Cloud, and #2 pencil on tracing paper, and everything in between.

There has never been a better time to learn Communications Design than now.
