article article Graphic designers are in the minority in the design world.
In 2015, a survey by The Art Newspaper and Gigaom found that only 7% of graphic designers had the time for a full-length article, and only 15% were even interested in starting one.
But now there’s a new crop of designers working full-time on graphic design.
These designers are starting to have a say on the culture of the graphic design industry.
In this article, we take a look at some of the hottest names in the field, and see what makes them tick.

Graphic Design for Beginners: Why Graphic Designers Shouldn’t Be Out There Graphic design is a craft.
Not every designer has the time, resources, or knowledge to take the leap to a full career in the industry.
But it’s an industry that offers an unparalleled opportunity for entry-level designers, and many of the top designers in the world are now starting to take their craft seriously.
“If you can do it in a small way, you’re a designer,” says Robby Johnson, the founder of the New York based design studio Gioostock, which has recently launched a design portfolio site.
“You can take a little risk and make a lot of money in the process.”
A recent survey by Design Boom and Giorgio Armani found that of the 3,500 designers in New York, over 60% were in graphic design jobs.
And many of them are making a living from it.
The study asked the designers about their freelance income, and found that the average salary was $65,000 a year.
And if you’re not a designer, there’s still plenty of opportunity for you to be a full time designer, thanks to some of these great start-up companies like Dye Digital, The Color Factory, and The Color Company.
The Rise of Graphic Design Blogs and Graphic Design Newsletter CommunitiesGraphic designers have been around for a long time, and they’re often the people who have the most to offer the community.
They’re the ones who create the content and give people access to the content, says Sarah Bogle, the CEO of the Design Boom blog.
But a lot more is happening these days.
“A lot of times, the people are not necessarily the people that are most involved in the blog or the newsletter, but it’s the people working in those spaces,” she says.
“It’s a great way to connect with the community.”
One of the most popular ways that designers can make money in graphic designing is through their blog posts.
This is where they’ll typically be writing their own content, and that can give them a leg up in the job market, as they have more influence over what other designers write.
“I think a lot people are more invested in their blog post, and then they’re much more likely to work in the newsletter space,” says Bogle.
Some of the best-known designers in this space are Sarah Bove and Nick Sousa, who run the site Design Boom.
Bove recently announced a new graphic design newsletter called Graphic Design Weekly, which she’s launching with a $100,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
The newsletter is focused on graphic designers who are looking to get more involved with design.
“The blog and the newsletter are two of the biggest platforms in the graphic arts,” she explains.
The two have been combined into one.
The Graphic Design Newsletters, which launched earlier this year, have become a regular source of new designers’ content, as well.
“There’s an opportunity to be the face of a community,” says Sousas.
“For example, if you want to get your design portfolio up on a website, you can go to Graphic Design Today and sign up for a newsletter,” he says.
“When I think about the industry and what I’m passionate about, I’m trying to create something that’s very inclusive, that is very diverse, and also that has a lot to offer,” says Johnson.
And it’s these opportunities that help the world of design continue to grow.
“What’s great about this space is it’s a way to bring together the best of the industry,” says Ciaran Kelly, the chief creative officer of The Color Agency.
“And the beauty of this is it allows people to get their hands on that talent.”
The Next Generation of Graphic Designer Is Here.
It’s not uncommon for a new generation of designers to start off on a small start-upship, or to jump from one gig to another.
This has happened with artists like Kate Martin, who started out as a graphic designer at the New Yorker and has since worked on sites like The Daily Dot, The New York Times, and Huffington Post.
Martin says that while it was tough to make money as
