Most graphic designers think being “just” a designer is safe. But when a Reddit thread exploded over whether it’s actually risky, we didn’t just scroll past. We tore it apart!
Some takes were spot on. Others completely missed the mark and sounded like entitled designers crying because they didn't get their way (and we’re not shy about saying which is which).
In this episode of The Angry Designer, we break down the “Is Being Just a Graphic Designer Risky?” Reddit thread, calling out the most controversial opinions and revealing what really puts your career in danger. From AI replacing average work, to the trap of selling only the end product, to why skill stacking and process can be your ultimate advantage. Nothing is off the table.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why focusing only on design execution puts your career at risk
- How stacking complementary skills keeps you competitive
- The real reason some designers thrive while others fade away
Whether you’re freelancing, working in-house, or running an agency, this is your reality check on the future of graphic design. Learn how to stay relevant, charge what you’re worth, and outpace an industry that changes faster than ever.
