About the Career
Have you been told you have creative and visualization skills? Do you enjoy analyzing
design decisions and often think it could have been done better? If you are attracted
to the design elements of color, type, shape, illustration, and layout, then
creating web sites and print-ready design solutions can be a very satisfying
career choice. Graphic and web designers often thrive on competition and creative
license; however, they must constantly adapt to the best solutions for the client.
This field can draw out your creative talents and expand your business and marketing
expertise.
Career Outlook
Employment opportunities are expected to rise as demand for graphic design continues
to increase from advertisers, publishers, and computer design firms. In addition,
demand should increase because of the rapidly expanding market for Web-based
information and expansion of the video entertainment market, including television,
movies, video, and made-for-Internet outlets.
