No Access

Access to social media is largely needed in the field of graphic design. Social media is where businesses, design firms and universities all gain access to a larger audience with a wide range in demographics. Without access to social media it would be difficult to make it in the graphic design world. To be a graphic designer means having access to a computer at the least. So having no access to a computer means no access to social media. 

Lack of access to social media is a huge negative impact for anything graphic design. Yes posters and flyers are still hung up and handed out but the real player is posts to Instagram and shares on Facebook. Social media is a key outlet to get design work out their and let the design influence its target audience. One business with social media most likely has a larger and more active engaged audience than a business with no social media. Graphic design and social media go together like two peas in a pod, without the pod they merely coexist as two separate entities which clearly they are not.
