I was wondering if someone could tell me the answer to this question. What is the difference between a graphic designer and a architect? I mean they both deal with drawings, dont they? Seems they are simular.

Architect draws blueprints for buildings and things like that.
Graphic designer draws ads, menus, and different things in a way that catches peoples attention.
They have to have a good eye for composition, color, lettering, etc.....and how to put it all together in an appealing way.

I agree with the above and would add that Graphic Designers do graphics, logos, websites, more artsy type of stuff while Architects design and engineer buildings. Both require artistic ability but are quite different.
