Communicate ideas through visuals.
Finding the right career is important for people interested in visual communications and digital media to find job security and satisfaction. When you combine the ability to share ideas through images and different forms of media, you can find work as a graphic design artist, Web designer, advertisement designer or animator.
Animator
Animation allows you to combine creative skills with conveying an important idea. In the early years of the field, animators had to draw out hundreds of pictures manually to create their representation and make it move. As of 2011, an animator needs extensive computer skills in addition to the ability to collaborate with others. These skills allow animators to bring their ideas to life on television, computers and the Web, as well as in print media.
Advertising Designer
An advertising designer plays an integral role in an advertising firm. The designer works closely with the development team to create visual media in magazines, billboards, commercials and online ads. Advertising is one of the highest-paid fields for visual communication professionals as of 2011, and many firms require their designers to have at least a college education.
Graphic Designers
Graphic designers must know figure out the best way to get a message across using a visual medium. Elements of graphic design important in this career include layouts, illustration and typography. Graphic artists will find themselves making corrections in the early years of their employment. Once they have some experience, they will begin working on client requests to design logos and business images.
Web Designer
Web designers use their creative talents to make a company's website visually pleasing while still not ignoring the technology users expect from a website. The goal of nearly every website is to have a user take further action, either by purchasing a product or contacting the business directly. Web designers work closely with the content management to create a cohesive feel between the visual aspect and the content of a website.
