Hi,
What does a graphic designer do?
Graphic design is all about the visual brand of a product or company; that is, what people think of when they think about a certain game or studio.
This includes:
logos
advertising campaigns
and other things which require high visual impact and affect the branding of the product or company
In terms of video games, this often relates to advertising and marketing, but can also relate to the design of in-game assets such as how text is displayed or how still images are used.
What does a game designer do?
Lots of different job titles come under the umbrella of game designer, from:
Concept design
Level design
Characters to environments
There are lots of different ways one can be considered a game designer.
Some game designers do more than one thing, and in small studios it is not uncommon for a game designer to do all of them!
Game designers have a lot of say over the look and feel of a game, so its important that they consult graphic designers for the best way to go about this.
What are the similarities?
The similarities between the roles both come down to the word design both are involved in the design of something, be it in-game levels or how an advertising campaign should look.
Both have a lot of say in important design decisions for their field, and both can work on a games title to make it the best it can be.
They work together, with one consulting the other, on how to make a game good and how to best present that game to the outside world.
What are the differences?
While a graphic designer might only be involved loosely in the development and deployment of a game, a game designer has a lot more say over how the game looks, feels, and plays.
A graphic designer may be consulted for things like user interface design or how to display dialogue trees, but a game designer will have much more involvement in how a game is presented and how it plays.
The difference really comes down to scope of involvement.

Hi Debjit,
Diplomas are similar to certificates, and they're often awarded through community or technical schools. For instance, a diploma of nursing is offered as an alternative to an associate's degree or bachelor's degree. This diploma program is only offered at hospitals with specialty programs that provide training.
With a diploma qualification the academic emphasis is placed on a more practical approach to learning. Diploma studies are offered on a full-time and/or part-time basis but are generally offered over a three-year period. "In-service" training or "Industry" training is normally part of the Diploma qualifications and varies from programme to programme, but can be anything from six months to a year. For example, Building; Engineering; Radiography. There is also a specialist B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) option that builds onto a Diploma and places it on the same NQF level as a Bachelor's degree.
With a degree qualification the emphasis is placed on an academic approach to a specified field of study or profession, such as law, pharmacy, architecture. Degree programmes are offered on a full-time or part-time basis and are offered over three to four years, depending on the type of degree programme. Certain programmes require industry training of about six to eight weeks.
All the best.

Hi, in India, the main foreign languages to learn are Spanish, German, French, Russian, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. If we talk about the career prospects, demand for Chinese, Korean, and Japanese is on a constant rise. Even then, many of the Indians do not prefer them to other languages as they are more complicated to learn and do not have any connection with English. However, learning these languages can be a good option if you want to avoid competition.
Besides, Japanese, Spanish, French, and German can be considered by those who are interested in teaching profession as a number of schools have made it compulsory for their students to learn any of these languages.
There is no scope of languages related to the field of animation. You can pursue any as the scope of animation abroad will vary as per the country and not the language.
