| Apr 27, 2017 at 7:48 | comment | added | joojaa | to This is a question for english language and usage. But note that the words "graph", "graphic" and "graphics" mean different things. So a graphist would make graphs which is at most a subfield of graphic design, at worst somebody working in the mathematics department. Also a graphic designer is different from a graphics designer | |
