Have you always been admired for your creativity? Do you enjoy understanding how visuals help attract buyers to a product?
Then consider enrolling in an adult learner program for art and design.
Design is a fast-paced, competitive field that relies as much on persistence and follow through as it does on your unique ideas.
Designers—whether they work on a computer, with clothing or in another medium—take their creative ideas from conception through implementation. That could mean deciding the look and layout of a magazine, Web site, clothing line or more. The best designers are detail-oriented, computer savvy and have at least an associate or bachelor’s degree.
Design is also a field in which you may work as a freelancer. That means you might work for several different companies at the same time—maybe from home. Freelancers should be business savvy as well as talented in the field, as they are responsible for invoicing clients, selling their skills, and keeping their books.
