Guitar players who can also play drums are at a big advantage, just like composers who can write lyrics or sing. Graphic designers are often illustrators too, but copywriting, photo retouching and photography skills can also be very useful for a designer — and not every designer necessarily has them.
- Jack000 13y agoI've done hiring for designers at my company, and one of the things I've found is that good illustrators tended to be horrible at design. Not sure why, just an interesting anecdote. I suspect different types of thinking are required for each, illustration is quite a bit closer to "art".
