MY article - GRAPHIC DESIGN: tools of the trade

In this article it talks about the future of graphic design and where it is going. It states that by 2014 the job positions will open up by 15 percent because of how many businesses need web design, advertising, marketing, and publishing. Think of all the businesses out there that need advertising such as big corporations or even small local ones that just need a brochure made to get their name out. Everywhere we bike, walk, or drive design is always around and someone has to be the one that does it. The articles talks about how once you break into the field of a design career you'll need to pursue continuous learning opportunities to maintain an advantage. Staying on top of your field such as updated software, emerging styles, and the constant shifting marketplace are very good to be aware of for success. The article also talks about how great of a job it can be because you can use your creativity and what you love, but get paid a decent amount as well. Your options are endless with this career because you can go into many different types of fields, different types of advertising, or even start your own business! Once you get that degree the ball is in your hands and you choose what you want to do with it. After reading this, it reassured me of how much i WANT to be a graphic design artist and how i eventually want to rise to the top and help small companies get larger by promoting good advertising. I want to help them and make an impact on their success. I want to feel that accomplishment and i hope one day i can do that. I know its going to take hard work and it's not going to be easy but I'm willing to work hard and put my best foot forward.
