6 Design Careers

Fashion Design

Those who enjoy styling clothes and accessories can get paid for doing so! The world of fashion is full of creativity (as most design jobs are) and opportunity. The pay can vary greatly because of the competitive nature of the career, which is very common in design jobs. The pay ranges from 30k-130k a year. Fashion designers work a 9am-5pm but they can work overtime if they have a deadline to work with. As far as salary. Overall, this is a great job for people who enjoy putting together outfits and want to expand on that.


Graphic Design

Technology has come a long way, there are even careers like this one. They allow more people access to more resources and allow them to create appealing content, which is exceptionally helpful for businesses. Considering a huge amount of people have access to the internet, creating digital content is helpful for advertising products and services. The average graphic designers can earn between 30k-80k per year. They work close to 40 hours a week, and again, overtime is very common.

Website Design

Similar to graphic design, this job focuses on making websites that are appealing, functional, and easy to use. Having a good website is extremely important for the credibility of a company and they are willing to pay high prices to have one. The average web designers make around 30k-75k and they work 40 hours a week.

Product Design

Products need to be optimized to be as useful to the customer as possible, that’s the job of a product designer. They ensure that the consumer experience with the product is good so that they are more likely to pay for it. While some product designers make around 60k, larger companies are willing to pay in the 100k-150k range, sometimes even more. Product designers mostly work 40 hours a week for one specific company.

Animator

This job is a bit different than the other ones, but it’s perfect for those who have a talent for drawing and want to draw a lot. It’s also good for those who like to focus on one project for a long time and feel satisfied by finishing a large work. The salary for this job varies widely, some animators make as little as 30k a year and others make as much as 230k a year. It depends greatly on what company you work for and how much experience you have. Animators work 40 hours a week but can work overtime if a project needs to be finished.

Video Game Design

This job is a bit more complicated than an animator, one has to consider the way in which everything interacts with each other. After designing a video game, a lot of work goes into debugging it and making sure it’s polished and ready to be released. The wage is very dependent on the company one works for and experience, as such, the salary is between 47k and 170k. The hours are 40 hours a week plus overtime, if necessary.
