Excuse me but the most important designer is in Fine arts artist. Painter or Sculptor these artists design and lay out that design and implement that design without any one else help or input. We have become so specialized we have forgotten the most important artist of all. Fine Arts and this detracts from the beauty of Art and it creators. The top of the list should read
Fine Arts/ Painter or Sculpture Artist, free hand digital artist
Graphic artist Illustrator or cartoon artist
then
all the rest follow.
If it were not for the fine arts artist all the rest of the art fields would not exist today.
Come on get your priorities right.
Is there not truth in what I say?
