Not so long ago now, and you could be quite specific about the role of a graphic designer. A graphic designer would primarily be involved in the design and layout of print media, including - posters, newspapers and magazines. Max Huber was one of the pre-eminent twentieth century Swiss graphic designers, he designed art covers for music magazines, records and the set stage for concerts. It was very much a hands on job requiring creativity, artistry and technical know how. I've included some examples of his work below -

Max Huber - The influential Swiss graphic designer
Max Huber has always insisted on being a freelance designer, and he always worked as the direct collaboration way with his client. He tried his best to create the balance between the demand of each client and his own demand

The introduction of the Apple Mac in the 1980's moved graphic designers away from the drawing board and onto the computer, it opened up a whole new world of creative  possibilities and speeded up workflow.
As technology has advanced so has the range of projects that a graphic designer gets to work on, and that's why today defining their role is not so straightforward, there are numerous areas in which we work.

Essential skills for a graphic designer

  • Excellent IT skills, especially with design and photo-editing software
  • Exceptional creativity and innovation
  • Excellent time management and organisational skills
  • Accuracy and attention to detail
  • An understanding of the latest trends and their role within a commercial environment
