Graphic Design Careers
Graphic design as we know it today emerged in the late 19th century. Some of the most iconic advertising campaigns composed of television, radio and magazine ads were developed by creative teams that included the graphic designer in a starring role. According to the Board of Labor Statistics, overall projected growth in graphic design careers is expected to increase 13% through 2018. That means that approximately 323,000 individuals will find employment in the graphic design arena.*

Graphic designers must have a good eye for detail and a keen interest in a variety of subjects such as history, pop culture and music are staples in the graphic designer's tool box. Graphic design careers offer a myriad of growth potential.
