English term or phrase: a graphic artist
At the time he was a rock legend visiting Tinseltown to work on an album with B.B. King, and she -- less than half his age -- was a graphic artist from Ohio trying her luck in Los Angeles.
美工师?平面设计师?图像艺术家?还是??

图形美工师 / 图形艺术家
Explanation:
按艺术造诣和成就的高低,“艺术”与“美工”、“家”与“师”在中文中有很大区别,但英文都是一个词。英文说 " I am a musician" 很平常,只要会拨两下吉它就行。但在中国,即使获了国际大奖,如果没有一把年龄,称为“音乐家”都会有所犹豫。

这里的“她”,是个初出茅庐到拉斯维加斯碰碰运气的女孩子,叫“美工师”已经抬举她了。:-)

比较安全的处理是连“师”字也不用:

“她是做图形美工的,从俄亥俄州到拉斯维加斯来碰碰运气。”

谢谢!
此女并不是什么高深莫测的XX家,只是拥有一份图形设计方面的工作罢了。
似乎也可以译成“平面设计师”。
不过你的处理的确比较“安全”^_^

My suggestion


Explanation:
It seems that we really have many Chinese terms for "graphic artist". I had wanted to find out what Melia McEnery (玛利亚-麦恩娜瑞) but all the info on internet talks about her making babies. Not the slightest clue given about what she does.

Let's go for the general term then. A graphic artist is one who designs and makes prints. I hope you can find the best term for this. Try to opt for a "safe term"??????

Or someone will be able to give you the right term for this!! :)
