Hi There,
Mokojoko here 
I’m an mainly an illustrator, who studied animation and always joked with my graphic designer friends on how they weren’t really “artists”(whatever that even is)…as luck would have it, I now primarily do graphic design for work hahah.
I’m joining this forum to learn from others and get valuable feedback on my work. I have a rough idea on how to design things, but I know I am missing out on key fundamentals, which I am hoping to be exposed to here.
Nice to meet ya’ll 
Welcome to the forum! 
Let’s hope we can help!
The whole graphic designers aren’t artists thing has never bothered me. Graphic design isn’t about art; it’s about finding visual solutions to problems. There are certainly artistic skills and judgments involved, but the art is more of a means to and end and not the end itself. When people call me an artist, I usually correct them by saying, I might be an artist on my own time, but at work, I’m a designer.
In any case, welcome to the forum. There are some very helpful people here who love answering questions and giving feedback.
Welcome Aboard!!! 
Awesome, sounds great! 
And very good point, I suppose the visual communication is the primary function, then the art.
