New media trends are driving unprecedented change in communications and technology. The variety of printed products is very broad: magazines, newspapers, packaging, books, advertising and documentation are just a few examples. Graphic artists are expected to translate complicated concepts into easy-to-grasp visual representations. Employees in this field work closely with journalists, website developers/programmers and marketers.
