Commercial and Industrial Designers
Career Snapshot
Pleasant surroundings, lovely clothes, and lovely floral arrangements can lift our spirits. Products and packaging that are visually appealing are more likely to be purchased than those that are not. For these reasons, designers have had an impact on practically every object we use in our daily lives.
Designers typically specialise in one field, such as apparel, furniture, home appliances, industrial equipment, house or office interiors, and even movie sets.
Designers are typically employed by manufacturing companies or design firms, but because the sector is driven by individual aptitude, many designers work for themselves.
Designers collaborate closely with clients to create a new design or modify a current one. The designer develops sketches, models, and drawings by hand as well as with the assistance of a computer. They frequently collaborate with other artists, as well as a design director, a project manager, and a development team.
Designers work in the entertainment business as well, producing costumes, sets, props, graphics, and even the overall 'look' of a theatrical or cinematic production. A designer must be creative and have the capacity to overcome irritation when designs are rejected.
Design is a highly competitive industry. A profession as a designer could satisfy your creative impulses if you enjoy drawing and discovering new concepts.
