Graphic Design
Turn your artistic talent into an exciting career.
Today, graphic design plays a major role in everyday life. The right visual approach is now vital to the success of web sites, cell phone applications, electronic games, advertising, packaging, product presentation, and more. That’s why there is a real demand for professionals with the right creative flair and technical know-how.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of graphic designers is expected to grow 10% from 2006 to 2016. Graphic designers will be needed for interactive media such as web sites, video games, and cell phone applications. In addition, demand will increase as advertising firms create web marketing and promotional materials for a growing number of products and services.
Employers expect new graphic designers to be familiar with computer graphics and design software. Individuals with web site design and animation capabilities plus a strong liberal arts background that includes marketing and business courses will have the best career prospects.
