If you're willing to enter into a life of war:

yes, but that also happens in movie credits for cinematographers

also, forgot to clarify this, i don't mean a video game graphic designer, i mean the type that designs movie covers/posters, cd covers, ads, etc.

You can't outsource cinematographers. It's a more secure job in the long run.

Graphic designers don't make adds. Advertising isn't based around mere visual aesthetic. The majority of the work in the design of an advertisement, has it's roots in psychology and brand management.


nobody goes there anymore. its too popular.

I'd say cinematographer, but that's just personal preference. I'd suggest thinking it out long and hard yourself, because all you'll get on the internet is someone else's view.
