graphic design

I'm not sure what is meant by "system design", other than the design of the website. So I would translate "Systemdesign und Grafik" as "Website and graphic design".
Peer comment(s):

agree Susan Starling : Agree that we need to first consider "Systemdesign." While "system design" could well apply to website UIs etc., and you might study "system design" for this, I imagine it's more common to say "Website and graphic design" in English publication credits.

agree Susan Starling : "Website and graphics" works for me. Or alternatively Gordon's "Website and graphic design".

neutral Lancashireman : Grafik = graphics in 1 minute? Implication is that the query was unwarranted.

images

I would keep it vague since there certainly is a difference between images and graphics. While images may cover graphics, graphics do not cover images (such as logos):

Had to prove myself.
neutral philgoddard : That's Bilder.

disagree Susan Starling : Interesting link. Thing is, "Grafik" in the context of "Systemdesign and Grafik" doesn't quite mean "graphical images" as in the above link, but rather what Phil says above. "Images" ("Bilder") would be much too specific here IMO.
