[QUOTE="drgrafix, post: 511024, member: 38559"] The field of Design is a very broad one. I'm a graduate Industrial Designer (minored in Interiors and Graphic Design) and its a field that is very intriguing because it encompasses so many areas. Industrial Designers are the people who create toys, design cars, furniture, appliances, work on corporate identity programs, annual reports, and have a hand in far too many consumer products to list here. Of course, I'm semi-retired now, but its a wonderful field for the aspiring artist/designer to look into, and it can be very lucrative. Companies are always re-designing products and creating new ones. A good Industrial Designer should be able to sketch/draw on the fly with a pencil/marker and should also be able to get into CAD and 3D modeling and animation. They should also have the ability to understand basic engineering concepts and be able to work with their hands. And of course... you'll have to have a good sense of 2D & 3D design. Anyway, for you young folks wondering which way to go... that was my (biased ;D ) pitch for just one field of design that you should look into. But more importantly... if you love art & design in general... stick with it, find your niche. Work at something that doesn't leave your head at 5:00 PM. [/QUOTE]
