Grapgic Design Industry
Industry Folder
When I am doing the booklet and magazine design I found out I am very enjoying doing it, that makes me really want to focus on the editorial design. About the Editorial design, I find out some info on what the role should be as an Editorial designer. Furthermore, there are many roles I can be as I use my graphic design skills in different career path. Here, in this booklet, you can notice that I not only focus on the role of an Editorial designer but also reach some roles in the Graphic design field.
The types of roles/ jobs Jobs in Marketing Marketing Exec – you’ll create promotional materials, like coupons or ads that show shoppers what the latest sales are. Branding designer – for a lot of really well-known companies, their branding is so strong that you can recognise one of their products instantly with a small piece of information (like a specific colour, say). Logo design – though it’s a niche, there are plenty of people whose entire job consists of creating logos. This is perfect for designers who love to spend good time on the drawing board. Content strategist – these people love help consumers have the right experience with a brand or client’s content, and graphic design goes a long way towards helping that. Email marketing – yes, you can have a career designing emails to make sure they meet client’s communications needs and goals. You’ll need to work with HTML and CSS. Advertising designer – you’ll work with the rest of the advertising team – including copywriters and the art directors – to come up with the perfect way to advertise a client’s product. Director of advertising – if you’ve got a background in ads, then you can rise to become the director of advertising, who not only will need to know how to make the ads look good, but will have to deal with clients, too.
Jobs in Product Development Package design – there are so many things you can do with a box, bottle, or bag, and there are plenty of people who specialise in coming up with new ideas to do just that. Label design – a good label can really make a product, so if you’re good at labels, why not go down this route? Physical container design – somebody has to figure out how all those shampoo bottles and cereal boxes look, don’t they? Production designer – want to work in the glamorous world of theatre, film, or television? You’ll be in charge of the visual concept for an acting production as part of the art department.
Jobs in Editorial Editorial design – this means you’ll come up for designs for things like newspapers and magazines to get the prefect balance between images and text. Book editorial design – you can specialise even further and just focus on books, which means you’ll design things like book covers and pages to supplementary materials to promote those books. Layout artist – this is another niche of editorial design, meaning you only focus on layouts of print publications. Prepress technician – this job involves revising proofs and making sure they look good and are clear, as well as transforming what you get given of text and images into a final page. Information graphics design – some people know how to organise information to make it instantly understandable. These people should definitely consider careers in information graphics design!
Jobs in Development Front end web designer – in normal person speak, this means what the websites look like (the front end), while developers take care of all the code that make the sites run (the back end). You’ll probably have to know a bit of coding. Designer/developer – this goes one step further than the one above, making you the person who both designs what the website looks like and does the coding work to make the website run properly. User interface (UI) designer – this specifically relates to the parts of a website or application that users will interact with. A UI designer does things like buttons to make the app work and typography to help with the interface. User experience (UX) designer – this has a lot of overlap with other web design areas, and it means that you’ll be in control of how the user finds their way around a website or an app. Usability is really important here! Flash designer/developer – this means you’ll work on anything online that requires the use of Flash or Actionscript. Information architect – do you want to help a client design their website and come up with a strategy for how they want it to work? This is the job for you. Mobile designer – there is so much stuff for mobile these days, which translates to so many jobs designing for mobile. Motion design – this overlaps with graphic design, though it isn’t always the same. You’ll use digital tools to make things like apps, video games and animation come to life, as well as things like storyboards and illustrations. Software quality assurance tester – this sounds really techy, but you can help people figure out how their programs or websites are working, then help them design a new one to make it better. Visual design – combining images, colours, typography and shapes, visual designers help make the user experience of a website or app even better.
Jobs in Creativity Creative services manager – you’ll need some experience to do this job, which involve liaising between a creative department and management to oversee projects. Creative director – hello, Don Draper! You’ll need to know how to maximise your team’s potential, plus be good at having the final say on projects. Oh, and don’t forget about managing client relationships. Typographer – many would argue that this is a profession that is not related to graphic design, but they’re deeply intertwined. The way I see it is that a Typographer is a graphic designer specialised in letters. Imagineer – described often as one of the best jobs in the world, an imagineer basically designs attractions and experiences for the Walt Disney Parks around the world.
Industry Folder
Interaction designer – this is another digital one, where you’ll combine technology and your design background to make a website make sense and be easy to use.
Jobs in PR Presentation specialist – you’ll need to know how effectively summarise and organise information if you want a job creating presentations for clients. Exhibition designer – this is another one where it’s not strictly graphic design, but you’ll get to use a lot of your skills to come up with aesthetically pleasing designs for things like trade show stands or art gallery exhibitions. Environmental graphics designer – you’ll combine lots of different design disciplines, one of which is graphic, to shape the experience people have in a place.
Jobs in Printing Print designer – a technical field, you’ll almost always need to have gone to graphic design school to land this job. Print may not be as popular as it used to be, but there’s still plenty around. Textile Designer – ever wondered how those beautiful prints got on your shirt? There’s a person who designs them. T-shirts designer – everyone loves a good T-shirt, don’t they? This is a great career to stretch your creative potential. Poster Designer – affichiste is the french word for designers that specialise in poster design. Printmaker – if you love prints, then you can dedicate your entire career to creating beautiful prints or all types. Successful printmakers use traditional techniques and digital printing.
Jobs in Other Industries VJ – which stands for video jockey, is a special kind of designer that creates a live video performance during a live concert or DJ Session. Our coworker Hayley leads a double life as Printsome’s graphic designer by day and VJ by night. Graphics Coordinator – is the person who’s in charge of managing the graphics that are projected during a live television show. Multimedia designer – if you’re a mac of all trades, you can do all kinds of stuff in multimedia, from television to set design to production design. Film title designer – who do you think comes up with those title and credit sequences in films? That’s a graphic designer specialised in film titles. Designer for a public relations firm – these companies always need to communicate information quickly and effectively about their clients, and a graphic designer who knows how to do this can definitely come in handy. Instructor – do you love showing other people how to blossom and become a graphic designers themselves? Then why not try your hand at becoming an instructor or professor of graphic design? Photography – while not strictly graphic design, if you already have an understanding of what sorts of images look good on certain materials, you have a good groundwork for making a good photographer. Broadcast designer – this person is in charge of graphics for television programs, and you’ll be required to be up-to-date on the latest software to create these graphics. Visual image developer – similar to an illustrator, these people use techniques like image edition, photography and 3D modeling to show a concept.
Industry Folder
Emojis designer – while it is still early to tell if this is going to become a viable career path in the future or not, it is certain that there are people now-a-days who spend their entire work day designing emojis (and are making good money of it, too).
The Editorial Design Editorial design is one interesting field that is combining the capabilities for clever compositions, editorial layout, and creative typography. People worldwide are staying up late and creating compositions that a lot of people get a hold of in the shape of magazine layout designs, newspapers, and books. The editorial designer is playing a very important role in the path that the information is shared, presented and understood, and also in performing the last function, this discipline can really bring some transcendental change to the society. Newsprint and Magazine Newspapers and magazines often employ in-house designers who handle page design and layout for the publication either daily, weekly or monthly. Because newspapers and magazines want to have a recognizable and consistent look, they tend to impose strict rules on font, imagery, size and columns. This consistency leads to a more straightforward but sometimes less creative position for designers. At most publications, designers help decide how images and text will go together on a page or screen. The typically collaborate with editors on how articles should be arranged on the page. In daily and weekly publications a designer must be flexible to last minute changes in their design to accommodate late breaking news stories and article edits.
Book Design Book design can be done in-house for a publishing company or on a freelance basis. Many book editorial design jobs allow you a great deal of creative freedom. You will typically consult with the client on the entire layout, including the cover, pages, font ant type. As a book designer you should not only have advanced design skills but also be familiar with the cost of materials and printing. Book design will have you working closely with the producer and author to be sure it has the desired feel. You may also be responsible for ensuring the final printing meets specifications.
