What were be the hardest part of being a graphic designer?
The hardest part of being a graphic designer, right now, is convincing potential customers that "eating" and "living indoors" are things graphic artists like to do too.
This is what you should do: Go to craigslist and look at the "graphic artist wanted" ads. Half of them are "payment is portfolio samples. Project requires (insert web 2.0 technologies that require $10,000 worth of software to accomplish) and if done well additional work might follow," (More work for free? Oh joy!) The other half are "I'll pay you $20 for a logo for my band. I want five different logos to choose from and I need it by Wednesday so we can print t-shirts for Friday's concert." How's anyone supposed to survive on that kind of pay?
I'm sorry that I sound so bitter, but I'm almost 46 years old and I have watched the career that I liked very much go from being a really good-paying career to being something people expect you to do for them for free. And the funny thing is, the people who want YOU to work for free don't work for free themselves.

1. Thumbnail sketch. This is a small, very rough, rapidly produced drawing used to try out various visual ideas. The designer creates many thumbnails to visualize many layout approaches without wasting time on details. The best sketches are approved and developed further.
2. Rough layout. This ia a preliminary, hand-drawn arrangement of elements in the actual size of the ad - the final piece. Headlines and subheads suggest the final type style, illustrations and photographs are only sketched in, and body copy is simulated with lines.
3. Comprehensive layout. This is a highly refined representation of the finished piece. It allows the client to see how the brand message will look. It's usually elaborate, with colored photos, text either hand-lettered or typeset, photostats of subvisuals, and a glossy spray coat. When the design process reaches the comp stage, all visuals should be final.
4. Dummy. This is just a mock-up that shows the actual size, look, and feel of brochures, multipage materials, packages, and point-of-purchase displays, to name a few. The artist assembles the dummy by hand, using colored markers and computer proofs. He mounts them on study paper, and then cuts and folds them to size.
5. Mechanical. This is the final, camera-ready artwork. In print production, the type and visuals must be placed into their exact position for reproduction by a printer. Today, this step is done entirely on the computer. The art goes directly from disk to an output device that makes negatives for the printing process.

No one knows. I know HOW it was invented, though.
In the late 1800s, there were art companies like Dynamic Graphics that sold books of "art ideas"--pages and pages of little pictures that were supposed to help your staff artists come up with pictures of their own to print in your newspaper or whatever you were making. They were very popular, but the publishers of the books found out the buyers were just cutting the pictures out and using them in the newspaper, not drawing new art based on the canned stuff. So...the publishers of these books renamed them "clip art" and sold the idea that your artist could do important drawings if he had this book of little pictures to put in the paper.
When computers that could do quality graphics were invented, these clip art books became clip art discs, first floppies, then CDs and DVDs.
