Compare and Contrast Essay Web design and multimedia/web design seem like two sides of the same job and both have their challenges and gratifications, and within this essay the two jobs will be compared and contrasted to see how each will match up. A web designer designs the graphics of a site or the site as a whole in hopes of selling the design(s) to a company or corporation. These designs can be for one page or multiple and must meet with the company or corporation’s ideas and requirements. A multimedia/web designer deals with much the same thing as a regular web designer, but they work on web development teams to create a more sophisticated web site as a whole rather than just a few parts here and there. Both of these very noteworthy jobs within the graphic and web design industry are responsible for creating the most appealing visual design(s) possible in their own unique ways. There are many similar aspects between web designers and multimedia/web designers. Customarily, both jobs are seen as one especially to those outside of the field. Normally, both are responsible in combining the graphic, textual, and other elements of a site to create a visually appealing layout. The web designer is responsible for as little or as much of the layout that is given to them to appeal to the audience, while multimedia/web designers work with a group to create a whole interactive website. As web design author Steve Krug is quoted, “If there 's one thing you learn by working on a lot of different web sites, it 's that almost any design idea--no matter how appallingly bad--can be made usable in the right circumstances, with enough effort,” and it’s this quote that unifies the web designers and multimedia designer as one (Krug). There is, however, a huge difference between a web designer and a multimedia/web designer. Web designers, as said above, are
