What this score means for Graphic Designer.

The Graphic Designer role sits in the mixed-exposure band. Multiple high-value tasks are reachable by current models; others remain firmly human. Senior practitioners who learn to direct AI tools will get more leverage. Mid-career professionals should plan a deliberate upskilling cycle in the next 12 months. Over the next 5 years the score is projected to drift down by 15 points based on the creative vertical's drift rate. Quarterly recomputes track the actual change.
