What is the main difference between web design and graphic design?

[MarcS]

Web design is interactive, graphic design is static.
With web design, the user can interact with the design. You click a button, navigate through various web pages, there may even be motion graphics and videos on a webpage. Graphic design is less interactive. You can look at it, touch it, but it doesn’t change when you interact with it.

Users can interact with web design, which makes it more fun for them. You click a button, move around different websites, and there may even be animations and videos on a page. Graphic design isn't as fun to do. Look at it, touch it, but it doesn't change when you do. Graphic design is a long-term thing. It's not possible to make changes to a book cover or a poster after it's been made. Web design, on the other hand, is a moving medium. It can change and adapt.
