I am currently almost a year away from my degree in Graphic Art and Multimedia, and in one of my classes today the teacher started a discussion about what the most desirable and/or most sought after position. The debate turned into a project that requires opinions from peers and pros. I figured starting here would be the best thing to do^^. The question exactly is: "What do you believe to be the most sought after job in the Graphic and Multimedia industry and why? Basically in includes anything from Web design to desktop publishing to book jacket design to complex 3d animation anything that requires Graphic Art skills.
I think the most sought after job would be character developers coz it takes skill and not many got that creativity to create that "BOOM" character that's a hit. And also its fun for me
If you ask me, I think it's those guys that make and come up with commercial advertisements. I don't know, that's just what I think.
imo a stable job would be web design One that I see a lot, is like Vector Abstract and designs thats what I see in Graphics Magazines a lot
It depends how good you are I mean I know there a LOT of jobs going wanting in the video games industry, in particular concept designers that come up with the original ideas for the visuals in games. There doesn't seem to be an end to the amount of web designers you can have right now As for others, advertisement seems to be quite over-subscribed imo but if you make a name for yourself then there's LOTS of jobs available
web designer is most sought after in the business apparently according to a family friend who runs a design business
Advertising. No doubt about it. Requires a lot of skill and if you end up doing it for a half decent company you can get a nice lil pay cheque. Advertising not necessarily meaning 3D work though...varies.
(---) this is based on company's and those who want employment the most sought after jobs are in the 3d design, visual special effects, and marketing fields..... 3d design- game makers, structual engineers/architecture etc. Visual special effects (kind of goes hand in hand with 3d design)- apart of games and movies, both high paying fields of employment and new skill is always sought after marketing- is strictly the designs for the products, the advertisements, the logos ect.
If I could do anything with graphics, I would work for movies. Big movies make millions of dollars, I'm sure there's a small percentage for the gfx people; and a small percentage is a large amount.
Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. Most of their designers I'm sure are very wealthy, and the job has to be a blast.
web design is the best imo but there just too many out there doing it atm and no matter how good u r there will always some1 better in todays market
