Morphology
The meaning 'an artist who creates designs and artworks for visual media' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'graphic' (pertaining to visual representation) with 'artist' (a person who creates art). This adjective+noun composition is a regular, compositional pattern found across languages and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Graphic artist comes from graphic (a word that meant a 'drawing' or 'picture') and artist (a person who makes art). Imagine someone who makes images and layouts to send a message—so today graphic artist means a person who creates designs and pictures for print or digital screens.
