Someone can be talented at both, expert in both and innovator in both. The real talent comes in doing them at the same time, within the same project and timelines. The same can be said for that of a writer who understands the context of their story well enough to doodle their vision on paper.
Designer or Illustrator
Graphic designers generally have a concise message they want to communicate and might employee an illustrator to help create elements that solve the design problem.
