What are the employment prospects for designers?

Is it easy to get a job by studying design? certainly! In today's visual age, our basic necessities of life are inseparable from visual design and designers. As long as you master excellent design skills, you can find a job with high salary and good development prospects. Nowadays, the more popular design positions basically belong to the CG visual communication design industry. You can consider learning related industry skills.

Normally speaking, a designer can work for a lifetime. If you are willing to learn and accept new things, you can keep doing it. But this is not the case. Many designers start to transform after the age of 30. Since there are very few designers who can become masters, most designers will consider transformation when they have not yet made a breakthrough at the age of 30.

1. What is the ultimate way out for designers?

One is to start a business, and the other is to change careers.

Let’s talk about entrepreneurship first. I have always believed that being a graphic designer is essentially the same as being a tailor. They both provide customized services to people, but the tools they use are different

After learning the skills of a tailor, you usually choose to open a tailor shop. No tailor will be an apprentice for a lifetime

The same goes for being a graphic designer. No matter how much the big guys brag, the reality is Designers over 35 are not popular in the workplace. There is no way to survive until the age of 40 or 50 by working part-time... After all, you can't survive as a young person!

2. Design employment prospects Good or not

The employment prospects are promising. With the development of artificial intelligence technology and the emergence of 5G, more and more user interfaces will be needed. There are too many applications now. In addition to applications, there are also various small programs, quick applications, etc. The prospects of UI will become better and better. Whether online or offline, the presentation of visual effects is more popular among users.

User interface design is difficult to learn and everyone has different standards. For those just starting to learn design, there are a lot of things you can do with hands-on software. But later growth, and how to further improve progress, is a very long process

At this stage, the most critical thing is to establish your own learning methods and learn to summarize and reflect when encountering relevant problems. After a period of study, when you enter the design industry, you can start to actively think about every detail of design and gradually form your own design style.

Fortunately, the threshold for starting a business as a designer is low. You can start as a freelancer, take orders at home and start your own business, and then set up a studio when your business is stable

2. Otherwise, the only way left is to change careers and use the work of a designer as a springboard to jump upstream in design. For example, design is transferred to planning, operation, marketing, management, etc., which is separated from the execution level of design.

The specific choice of what to change depends on your own situation, that is, the great gods behind you who guide the country. They are your goals for changing careers.

If you want to switch, you should make full use of your previous accumulated experience and skills. For example, my hobby is photography, so I will switch from a designer to photography. Photography also requires an aesthetic foundation, and being a designer requires sitting for a long time. Photography requires running, and movement and stillness complement each other.
