graphic design in both print and web

Graphic design in both print and the web have very many differences. They may both be used in many fields in both the print and web careers. Both print and web design have the same outcome and that is to catch the audiences attention. With print the you are trying to keep your audience to stay on a page long enough to get the market message across where with the web you are trying to keep your audience on a specific web page for as long as possible. Another difference between the two are the measurements the web is measured in pixels and print is measured in inches. When it comes to the layout of the two print you know the final piece will be delivered  as is in the web you deliver your design to a programmer and you have to wait to see your final layout. Color is another difference within them, working with web colors can vary from monitor to monitor and with print you the color may vary from the computer to the paper. The web is more interactive than print but both can offer a whole lot. Graphic design plays a role in our daily lives everyday it is the way our advertisements/flyers/posters/websites ext are viewed. Graphic design is what holds our attention to specific details to different things. Reading about graphic design and print i learned the differences and similarities to both and how much it effects the way people view simple everyday items of both print and web.
