There's 'design' and there's 'graphic artist' - sorry for the semantic distinction. There's a lot of basic design you can get from BS or foundation or whatever, and themes and such that all look nice. Coming up with specific artwork to match it (logos, something beyond just typed fonts, etc) is something I classify more as 'graphic art' work vs 'design'. It maybe be a distinction without much of a difference to some, and maybe there's a better way to phrase it, but it's a moderately important distinction in my head for some reason.
