I think because the definition of both not clear that a web designer focus on coloring with RGB and similar , but graphic designer work with every type like CMYK ,RGB etc , So I think that graphic design more general term (observe that the both are very strong , graphic designer will be more stronger if he focus in both printed Design and make Design for websites)

 

Visual Design I think for All media and printed and web
