    Web design is a much more specific niche and usually contains website layout, user interface experience, front-end coding (HTML/CSS, Javascript, etc.) and/or back-end coding (PHP, MySQL, etc.).

    Graphic design, on the other hand, encompasses a number of mediums besides the computer-- graphic designers include t-shirt designers, business card designers, and print designers. Anything that has to do with visual design, really.

    web design = creating website for web
    graphic design = creating elements for web, or other media, like print, etc

    Hello,

    Graphic Design would focus on how to design graphically pleasing layouts. You would learn about color theory, typefaces, the relationship between design elements when placed on a page and just generally how to make things, either printed or displayed in another way, look appealing.

    Web Design would require many of the skills of a good graphic designer but also, you'd need to learn how to write web pages. You'd probably start by learning HTML (hyper text mark up language) which is the scripting language web pages are made up of. You'd move on to current and updated languages like XML and cascading style sheets.

    When you design a website it is called "website design"

    When you design a poster, wallpaper, banner, brochures, flyers...etc it is called graphic designing.
