5 INDUSTRIES A GRAPHIC DESIGNER CAN WORK IN



We can all agree that graphic design is a fascinating field to work in, but what are the opportunities this field offers? After one obtains a degree in graphic design, what are the job prospects? To answer these questions, here are 5 industries a graphic designer can work in. 
 

FASHION
The fashion industry is not just about double knits and sewing techniques, graphic designers have their part to play as well. From the graphics on t-shirts to the printed pattern on a shirt, from the visual look of fashion shows to the design of posters and promotional material, a graphic designer is behind these works. Big fashion houses have in-house graphic design team. For a graphic designer with illustration skills the fashion industry is the suitable place to work in. 



ADVERTISING
Advertising is the backbone of an economy, apart from that it is a creative industry and requires creative professionals to work in the industry. A graphic designer is part of the visual team, and is responsible for the visual representation of the services an advertising agency provides. These services include logo design, poster design, type design, art direction, creative direction and so on. A graphic designer can later on go on to become an art director and even a creative director. 



MUSIC
Music is an art form that people hear, but before people get to hear the music, people need to see it; this is where a graphic designer comes in. A graphic designer is responsible for the visual representation of the music that you are about to hear. It is represented through album covers, CD covers, posters, merchandising which includes t-shirts, key chains, caps, and so on. A graphic designer also does the logo for the band, and is also involved in the design of the live shows. Major music labels have their in-house design team. 



PUBLISHING
Publishing is the business of written words, but these words need to be represented to the readers in a proper manner, this is done by a graphic designer. Be it books, newspapers, magazines, all of these have been touched by a graphic designer at some point of time. Book covers, magazine covers act as the face of the product, and people look at it before getting into the main content; this makes the job of a graphic designer more challenging as they are influencing the purchase decision of the consumers. Publishing houses have their in-house talent and at times they commission reputed designers to do the job. 



EDUCATION
Knowledge is power, and this power needs to be passed on. Graphic designers can choose the path of education and pass on their knowledge to the younger generation. Many designers have gone on to be teachers full time whereas some continue their practice as well as being a teacher.
