Misconceptions

Some people think graphic designers draw pictures or play with Photoshop all day long. I don't do any one thing all day. In fact, 80 to 90 percent of my job is creating graphic design concepts and execution.

There's also this idea that it's a male dominated field full of guys in dark-rimmed glasses. But more recently, women are taking over the industry. I graduated with 17 women out of a class of 25, so the myth of the old boys club is not the case.
