What Is the Difference Between Graphic, UI and Interaction Designers?

Graphic designer

A graphic designer expresses design ideas and images on two-dimensional flat media through the combination and arrangement of various visual elements. Graphic design, also called visual communication design, takes vision as its medium of communication and expression, creating and combining symbols, images and text in many ways to produce visual presentations that convey ideas or messages. Graphic design mainly does art typesetting, print advertising, posters, light boxes and similar design and production.

UI designer (User Interface)

A UI designer does the overall design of software’s human-machine interaction, operating logic and interface beauty. On the surface UI is two parts, the user and the interface, but it actually includes the interaction between them, covering usability analysis, GUI (Graphic User Interface) design, user testing and more. Good UI design does not merely give the software personality and taste; more importantly it makes the software comfortable, simple and easy to operate, fully expressing the software’s positioning and character.

Interaction designer

Interaction is the process of exchange between a product and its users. An interaction designer, holding to user-centred design philosophy and user experience as the principle, researches and designs that interaction process.
