The term “graphic design” is more than 100 years old. At the beginning of the 20th century, the writer, illustrator, designer, typographer and printer were usually one and the same person. Thereafter, all these professions developed into specialisations.
Basically, a graphic designer creates new concepts. These are then executed by a graphics developer. However today, in practice there is no difference between the two professions. Graphic designers also refer to themselves as graphics developers, and vice versa.
