What does a digital illustrator do?

As a digital illustrator, you design creative graphics for your employer. You might work for an advertising agency, the entertainment industry, or a design studio. Your responsibilities are to use digital tools on your computer to create branded images or marketing materials. Unlike a graphic designer, your work is more artistic. You create original works of your own design for both digital and publications. Your other duties include working with digital design software, translating client ideas into art, and working with other marketing professionals to complete project deadlines. You can also do this job on a freelance basis.
