Since the emergence of the computer system as a design tool, the place of the graphic artist in the advertising agency has been very contentious. A graphic artist in academic environment has been always been overlooked as ordinary artist who carves out letters and produces sign posts like a roadside artist. While a huge number confines a graphic artist to a layman profession. Based on this misconstrued perception, the study tends to highlight the enormous responsibility and the indispensability of the graphic artist in an advertising agency and otherwise. With a review of a number of literatures, the subject content of both graphic arts as a discipline and the evolutionary trend of the advertising agency were clearly stated. The findings reveal that the graphic artist functions come under the creative department in the organizational structure of the advertising Industries. The graphic artist translates the broad outlines into ideas for advertisements producing visual concepts, slogans, copy and storylines for all media and for support materials. By and large, the graphic artist is a terrifying force to reckon with in the actualization of the expected goals of the advertising agency in any given economy.
