Web design, the fastest growing segment among the various disciplines of graphic design, calls upon the creative and magical skills of a graphic designer, but it takes designers away from the physical media with which they are most familiar. Instead, web design challenges the creation of pleasing and evocative designs entirely within an electronic, digital medium.Web design is the discipline that takes these elements, puts them into the hands and minds of capable designers, and turns them loose on the facsimile of a medium that we still refer to, anachronistically, as a "page." In that respect, the details of the tools used in the software packages website designers employ are still represented by their dirty-fingers icons of the real, old-school tools: pencils and brushes, paint spray cans, smudges and smears, scissors and blades, cropping, fading, dodging, outlining, filling, and so on.
