Graphic designers create visual communication: brand identities, marketing materials, digital interfaces, and publications. Typical education is a BFA from a university of applied sciences or a master's from Aalto. Adobe Creative Cloud is the professional standard; Figma is now required for digital product work.

Major employers include agencies like Bob the Robot, SEK, and Hasan & Partners. Freelancing is exceptionally common. Salaries are relatively low for a degree-level profession, reflecting large supply. Art director roles typically pay €4,000–5,000.
