Graphic design and web design are two sides of
the same coin
A lot of confusion prevails when it comes to
defining graphic design and web design. Probably
that is one reason why it is referred
interchangeably quite often by some web design
and graphic design agency in Australia and other
parts as well. Although the role each may play
and the characteristics each may have been
interconnected, however, they still hold ground
differences respectively. Despite the fact, both
use a similar set of tools, applications and
software, the function each is supposed to
perform at a graphic design and web design
company in Melbourne. Here are some of the
differences between them individually explained

• Fonts On one hand, a graphic designer at graphic
  design agency in Melbourne has a larger pool of
  fonts to choose from. On the other hand, the web
  designer has a limitation in regards to fonts
  this is because each font selected with have a
  respective impact on the working of the website.
  The fonts used must be compatible with the
  operating system. However, with technological
  advancements, API equipped fonts are being
  introduced, so that the workability of the
  website remains unaffected and could be
  beautified at the same time.
• Colour Web design company Melbourne and other
  parts understand the importance of colour when it
  comes to web designing. The colour scheme they
  may play around is CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow,
  and key) as all the designing will eventually
  take the printing form. However that is not the
  case with web designing, the colour model they
  may use is RGB (Red, green and blue). Since these
  colours on a website must not overpower the
  relatability with the content. The viewer must
  not be distracted by the colour scheme.

• Digital pictorial representation The pictures
  and graphics used in professional web design in
  Melbourne is represented in pixels however in the
  case of graphic design the picture is measured in
  inches, millimetres and centimetres. This is
  because of a very simple reason the final
  product of web design will appear online,
  whereas, in the case of graphic design, it will
  be printed on hard form like a banner, hoarding
  etc.
• Presentational models A professional web design
  Melbourne and other parts of the world may only
  have motionless pictures however, web design will
  have more active, dynamic and lively effects.
  Furthermore, in the case of web design the
  information will be limited to a screen only,
  however, the graphic gets printed which is more a
  free mode.

• The medium used to spread information The
  information a custom website design in
  Melbourne will spread may only happen digitally
  on a screen. However, the graphic designs get
  printed on cloth and paper. The information
  presented through graphic design cannot be
  readily modified, however, the information in a
  web design can be changed in few clicks.
• Browsing varies A custom website design
  Melbourne may be reflected on various web pages,
  however, in graphic design, the information
  cannot be presented one by one, page by page.
• Despite the difference, the importance of either
  web design or graphic design agency Australia
  cannot be overlooked.
• Lastly while visiting a web design or graphic
  design agency Melbourne next time, considering
  the above difference will greatly help.
