What's it like to be a Designer?
Designers are involved in the creation process of new products and concepts. They create blueprints on how to create tangible objects or plan to execute concepts and ideas. While responsibilities vary across specialisations, their work can produce physical objects, visual images, or even plans to be followed. There are many fields of design which are categorised into specialised roles that are found in almost every industry.
Tasks and duties
- Staying updated with the latest industry trends.
- Being able to use design tools to create plans and provide structure for concepts and ideas.
- Understanding the objective of a project and providing input in its execution.
- Effectively using feedback and being able to communicate and execute ideas during the creation process.
How to become a Designer
Depending on the career path you want to take, Designers need to know the foundational concepts of their preferred industry. Familiarity with design concepts is at the core of being a Designer. Design thinking is expected, but being an effective communicator is equally important.
- Complete a bachelor degree. While not a hard requirement, most industries prefer Designers with a bachelor degree.
- Learn and practise design thinking. This is a problem-solving approach specific to design that provides further understanding of a problem and uses alternative strategies to provide solutions.
