Can anyone tell me more about graphic design and exactly the different jobs in the market? |
I've been looking for a career that I can enjoy and actually do at the same time, I'm planning on going to college to be a paralegal, but I am not sure that is the field I want to be in. I don't just want to pick something for the sake of it. I looked at the paper and saw graphic design and I thought that would be really cool but hard work, but I am not sure about the job market and exactly were a graphic designer might work? Graphic Design is an excellent field to get into. It is actually listed as one of best careers to enter right now. With the internet and media booming as it is, it is predicted that graphic designers will be in even higher demand in future years. A degree in graphic design takes anywhere from two to four years depending on where you take it. It is a very demanding course load with a steep learning curve. You learn a lot of different programs in a very short time and it consists of lots of projects with tight deadlines but it's also a lot of fun. I graduated with honors and I had never touched a computer before I started classes, it's just a matter of applying yourself and keeping organized. You also learn web design, animation, photography, writing, free hand drawing and painting, etc. As a result a lot of doors are opened to you other than strictly graphic design. The course will prepare you for jobs in printing, design, past-up work, layout artist, sign companies, publishers, newspapers, magazines, large corporations and working for the government, to name a few employers.There is tons of work out there if you market yourself. Self employment is an option that a large number of designers take too. The work itself is very enjoyable and rewarding and the pay is very good. ( like anything else the pay rate fluxuates depending on where you are ) I know in western Canada a lot of the companies are paying $40 to $50 an hour to start. You can easily make that if you are a successful entrepeneur. Hope this helps you a bit. If you are a creative person you can't find a better job. Good luck in your future endeavours. please excuse spelling errors...spell check not working. Source(s): I'm a free lance graphic designer. Associations may be a good avenue to explore.
