Computer graphic design uses computer-generated images and words to create graphics for publishing and advertising.
There are two kinds of computer graphics - raster (composed of pixels) and vector (composed of paths). Raster images are more commonly called bitmap images. A bitmap image uses a grid of individual pixels where each pixel can be a different color or shade. Bitmaps are composed of pixels.
Computer graphic designers use computer graphics software to create computer animation, product packaging, books, magazines, interactive web platforms, among other things. Among the many kinds of computer graphic designers include web designer, animator, computer graphics design instructor, interactive graphics artist and retail display artist.
