Saying what I do for a living is just as difficult as telling people how to say my name.
I eventually just give up (in both cases) and mumble, "yeah...that's how you say it", "yeah...that's what it means", "I do media stuff", "I make web sites and videos", etc.

great video. Once I tell people that I am a graphic designer, they always follow it up with, "So what do you actually do?"

I used to just tell my dad I made websites n stuff, regardless of what I was working on. He'd never turned on a computer so it was of no relevance to him so we could talk about other shite. Now he's getting computer savvy I may need to tell him something else.

I've told my family that i'm responsible for the production of the visual culture they immerse themselves in within their everyday lives.

how do graphic designers explain it?
as a product/industrial designer I used to say "we make everything you see around you except for buildings and paper stuff."

On that note, the blonde haired guy with the kid on his shoulders that labelled graphic design a 'wank' that helped 'capitalists prey on ordinary australians'
Was the face of Energiser Batteries in Australia in the 80's and flogged batteries.
