It will depend where you work. If you work for an agency, you will most likely have one or multiple brands you work on. If you work as an in-house designer (like me) you will most likely receive your projects from a marketing and/or internal communications team, who are gathering project information from other various areas of the organization.

Hi Anson,
I think this would depend on how big the company is. If it's a large company, you will most likely work in a single department with other coworkers. If it's a relatively small company you could end up doing the work of various departments all on the same project.
Larger companies will usually assign you to a specific part of a project. You complete your work and pass on your work to the next department.
All the best!

I'm not sure how many you can work on at once but how many departments depends on the company you work for and what they need really

So when you get a job, you usually are placed in one department. But when you study you learn lots of different skills that can be applied to different departments.
Bigger companies usually have separate departments for everything, and you get placed in one of them. Smaller companies usually have less departments who do more things. For example a really big company may have a graphics department, but within that have a tema just for websites, another team for instagram and another team for printed materials. In a smaller company they might just have 1 graphics team and 1 graphics person, working on all the websites, printed materials and isntagram posts!

Hi Anson!
It depends on how big of a company you work for. If it's a small company, you may be working for all of them, handling any graphic design needs the company has. Depending on how large a larger company is, each "department" may have its own designer or you may be in the graphic design department of a company, with other designers.
It also depends on whether you're working at a graphic design agency, or if you are an "in-house designer" who is working at a company that is in some other industry, such as manufacturing or health care.
I hope this helps! Good luck to you.

Often if you start for a larger corporation, you will be in the marketing department which supports many different functions within the business, you might create ads for sales or create forms for HR. If you were to work for an advertising house you could possibly work for many different companies.
