Graphic Designer
Graphic designers put together words and pictures to inform, communicate or persuade. They produce designs for book covers, company logos, brochures, advertising posters, website and CD-ROM pages, magazines and newspapers.
They work in every sector but more often than not in advertising, design or communications agencies and multimedia production companies etc.
This post is graduate level, as they need a degree. Promotion can be to
senior/art director or management. These positions would usually be senior level, but a caseworker should check the job description to assess the post has the required level of skills.
Internet/Web Professional
An internet/web professional may perform one or all of the following roles
• Web designer - responsible for the design, layout and coding of web
pages
• Information architect – plans how the content will be managed/displayed
• Webmaster/developer – dealing with more sophisticated websites that
handle online queries, search engine optimisation and web hosting
• Account project manager – co-ordinating all these aspects over different

This post is graduate, as it requires a degree. Although, for it to meet
graduate level the job description must show that there is a level of
responsibility. For instance, if the job description indicates that the applicant
is only putting other people’s designs on to the internet it is not likely to be
graduate level. Promotion would be to Project Manager, which we would
assess as senior level, but the caseworker should check the job description to assess the post has the required level of skills
