Careers in Design
Design is a field that has many facets and many opportunities for careers. If you are highly organized and motivated you can choose to be the Art Director, the person who oversees the entire project or if you are more interested in focusing on making art you might choose to be a photographer or illustrator who is hired by the Art Director. There are many types of design as we learned in the first few days of class. This next assignment is about you learning more about a career in the field of Design and then creating a self promotional piece that highlights your skills as that type of designer.
