About
Definition
“What separates design from art is that design is meant to be… functional.” ― Cameron Moll Designing is a highly developed field that requires trained people who are creatively innovative and artistic. There are many specialties that fall under the umbrella of the design industry. If you’re looking for an opportunity to combine your love of technology with your passion for design, you’ll probably find yourself faced with a tough choice: Graphic design versus Web design. Graphic designers use text and images to communicate information and ideas. They do not do any programming.Career Path

Akshar Pathak is a 24-year-old graphic designer who made it big, Bollywood style. A brand associate for Zomato by profession, he spends his spare time making minimalist Bollywood posters. A project which has over 72,565 likes on Facebook and 1,059,415 hits on its website. He even worked on a poster for Mira Nair’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Salaam Bombay! But that’s not all, if you’re lucky, he might make a poster out of your tweet, for his second project, the “Tweetard.” His quirky sense of humour and out-of-the- box thinking definitely reflects in his work.
