Thiago’s Answer

In general, a Graphic Designer is in charge of the aesthetic ordering of elements that compose graphic pieces. Graphic Design, therefore, encompasses a broad variety of employment opportunities. A useful way of thinking about design, is in conjunction with other areas of knowledge, such as:

Design + Video Games = Game Designer

Design + Education = Instructional Designer

Design + Internet = Web Designer

Design + Apps = Interface Designer (UX and UI)

Design + Arts = Illustrator

Design + Clothing = Fashion Designer

Design + Architecture = Interior Designer

Design + Texts = Diagrammer

Design + Jewels = Jewelry Designer

The most important thing is to understand which areas you really identify with. This will help you to be happier at work and, consequently, to become a more successful professional.

Hao’s Answer

Graphic can be a very broad area. You can do work in many mediums such as print, digital, motion and virtual reality. You can do work that is focuses on branding and visual design or focus on user interfaces and web design. It really depends on what medium that your most passionate about.

Look into industries that allow you to try your hand at a plethora of design mediums. A had a friend who worked at a technology company that allowed her to work on a the user interface for the web, print medium, hardware digital interface. It gave her great insight on what aspect that she enjoyed the most.

Hao recommends the following next steps:

Use https://angel.co to do research on companies that may allow you to try many different paths

Use dribble or behance to find designers that you admire and message them about their journey. Or possibly to help mentor you

Prashant’s Answer

Hi Jessica,

Graphic design has a lot of potential as well. Every major company that you see be it Apple, google etc spend a lot of money to design their products so that the users can easily use it. This is called UI/UX design ( user interface/user experience).

UI/UX spans across mobile apps, operating systems, websites etc. So you can look around and see there is a lot of potential.

Secondly, there is an option in gaming industry where you can design graphics for games and this is also a major industry.

So look around everything you interact with will have a software design for the functionality to work and a graphic design that users you interact with.
