It can also be very demanding as graphic designers also spend quality time every day brainstorming innovative concepts with project teams and working closely with clients.
Most graphic designers start their day by going into a design firm, corporate office, or studio space where they check their emails, create their to-do list, and then approach new designs with fresh eyes. They may also meet with clients or colleagues to review feedback on current projects while pitching new clients.
