Graphic designers create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, and captivate consumers. They develop the overall layout and production design for applications such as advertisements, brochures, magazines, and reports.

Duties

Graphic designers typically do the following:

  • Meet with clients or the art director to determine the scope of a project
  • Use digital illustration, photo editing software, and layout software to create designs
  • Create visual elements such as logos, original images, and illustrations to help deliver a message
  • Design layouts, including selection of colors, images, and typefaces
  • Present design concepts to clients or art directors
  • Incorporate changes recommended by clients or art directors into final designs
  • Review designs for errors before printing or publishing them

Graphic designers, also referred to as graphic artists or communication designers, combine art and technology to communicate ideas through images and the layout of websites and printed pages. They may use a variety of design elements to achieve artistic or decorative effects.

Graphic designers work with both text and images. They often select the type, font, size, color, and line length of headlines, headings, and text. Graphic designers also decide how images and text will go together in print or on a webpage, including how much space each will have. When using text in layouts, graphic designers collaborate with writers, who choose the words and decide whether the words will be put into paragraphs, lists, or tables. Through the use of images, text, and color, graphic designers may transform data into visual graphics and diagrams to make complex ideas more accessible.

Graphic design is important to market and sell products, and it is a critical component of brochures and logos. Therefore, graphic designers often work closely with people in advertising and promotions, public relations, and marketing.

Frequently, designers specialize in a particular category or type of client. For example, some designers create the graphics used on product packaging, and others may work on the visual designs used on book jackets.

Graphic designers need to keep up to date with software and computer technologies in order to remain competitive.

Some individuals with a background in graphic design become postsecondary teachers and teach in design schools, colleges, and universities.

Some graphic designers specialize in experiential graphic design. These designers work with architects, industrial designers, landscape architects, and interior designers to create interactive design environments, such as museum exhibitions, public arts exhibits, and retail spaces.

Education for Graphic Designers
A bachelor’s degree in graphic design or a related field is usually required. However, individuals with a bachelor’s degree in another field may pursue technical training in graphic design to meet most hiring qualifications.

The National Association of Schools of Art and Design accredits about 350 postsecondary colleges, universities, and independent institutes with programs in art and design. Most programs include courses in studio art, principles of design, computerized design, commercial graphics production, printing techniques, and website design. In addition, students should consider courses in writing, marketing, and business, all of which are useful in helping designers work effectively on project teams.

High school students interested in graphic design should take basic art and design courses in high school, if the courses are available. Many bachelor’s degree programs require students to complete a year of basic art and design courses before being admitted to a formal degree program. Some schools require applicants to submit sketches and other examples of their artistic ability.

Many programs provide students with the opportunity to build a professional portfolio of their designs. For many artists, including graphic designers, developing a portfolio—a collection of completed works that demonstrates their styles and abilities—is essential because employers rely heavily on a designer’s portfolio in deciding whether to hire the individual.

Graphic designers must keep up with new and updated computer graphics and design software, either on their own or through formal software training programs. Professional associations that specialize in graphic design, such as AIGA, offer courses intended to keep the skills of their members up to date.

Other Experience for Graphic Designers
Graphic designers often gain their initial experience through internships. Internships provide aspiring graphic designers an opportunity to work with designers and to experience the design process from concept to completion, in some cases while completing a design program.

Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations for Graphic Designers
Certification programs are generally available through software product vendors. Certification in graphic design software can demonstrate a level of competence and may provide a jobseeker with a competitive advantage.

Advancement for Graphic Designers
Experienced graphic designers may advance to chief designer, art director, or other supervisory positions.

Important Qualities for Graphic Designers
Analytical skills. Graphic designers must be able to look at their work from the point of view of their consumers and examine how the designs they develop will be perceived by consumers to ensure they convey the client’s desired message.

Artistic ability. Graphic designers must be able to create designs that are artistically interesting and appealing to clients and consumers. They produce rough illustrations of design ideas, either by hand sketching or by using computer programs.

Communication skills. Graphic designers must communicate with clients, customers, and other designers to ensure that their designs accurately reflect the desired message and effectively express information.

Computer skills. Most graphic designers use specialized graphic design software to prepare their designs.

Creativity. Graphic designers must be able to think of new approaches to communicating ideas to consumers. They develop unique designs that convey a certain message on behalf of their clients.

Time-management skills. Graphic designers often work on multiple projects at the same time, each with a different deadline.

Art Directors

Art directors are responsible for the visual style and images in magazines, newspapers, product packaging, and movie and television productions. They create the overall design of a project and direct others who develop artwork and layouts.

Craft and Fine Artists

Craft and fine artists use a variety of materials and techniques to create art for sale and exhibition. Craft artists create handmade objects, such as pottery, glassware, textiles, and other objects that are designed to be functional. Fine artists, including painters, sculptors, and illustrators, create original works of art for their aesthetic value, rather than for a functional one.

Desktop Publishers

Desktop publishers use computer software to design page layouts for newspapers, books, brochures, and other items that are printed or published online.

Drafters

Drafters use software to convert the designs of engineers and architects into technical drawings. Most workers specialize in architectural, civil, electrical, or mechanical drafting and use technical drawings to help design everything from microchips to skyscrapers.

Industrial Designers

Industrial designers develop the concepts for manufactured products, such as cars, home appliances, and toys. They combine art, business, and engineering to make products that people use every day. Industrial designers consider the function, aesthetics, production costs, and usability of products when developing new product concepts.

Multimedia Artists and Animators

Multimedia artists and animators create animation and visual effects for television, movies, video games, and other forms of media.

Technical Writers

Technical writers, also called technical communicators, prepare instruction manuals, how-to guides, journal articles, and other supporting documents to communicate complex and technical information more easily. They also develop, gather, and disseminate technical information through an organization’s communications channels.

Web Developers

Web developers design and create websites. They are responsible for the look of the site. They are also responsible for the site’s technical aspects, such as its performance and capacity, which are measures of a website’s speed and how much traffic the site can handle. In addition, web developers may create content for the site.

The Indian technical textiles sector has immense potential to grow both domestically as well as globally. Backed by government initiatives and support, India can emerge as a global manufacturing hub for technical textiles in the future. 

It is a massive market that remains overshadowed by its conventional cousin. And, all discussion about its scope remains confined mostly to stakeholders. But almost unnoticed-certainly by those not conversant with the sector—technical textiles have already emerged from the shadow of the overall textiles industry and is now reckoned to be an entity of its own. Plus, it is big.

The global technical textiles market was valued at $157.68 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach $220.37 billion by 2022 at a CAGR of 5.89 per cent from 2017, according to a recent report by Markets and Markets. The major factors driving this market are growing demand and government initiatives in promoting this sector. The increasing use of technical textiles in end-use industries such as automobiles, construction, healthcare and geotextiles too are driving the market. The technical textiles used in these industries is being attributed to the unique function properties—hygiene and safety, cost-effectiveness, durability, strength, versatility, user-friendliness, lightweight and logistical convenience.

Back home, the growth drivers of the Indian technical textiles markets include:
 Growing industrialisation,
 Changing lifestyles,
 Improvement in safety and hygiene,
 Increase in technology, and
 Awareness of protective wear.

The Indian market

 

The Indian technical textiles sector is growing along with that of the end-user industries. The sectorcontributes around 12 per cent to the overall Indian textiles market. The major factor contributing to the growth of Indian technical textiles are infrastructure and industrial development in the country.
Government initiatives too are attracting investments. The government has put in place the following policies to develop a comprehensive manufacturing base for high-value technical textiles in India.
 Export Promotion of Capital Goods (EPCG),
 Amended Technological Upgradation Fund Scheme (ATUFS),
 Schemes for agro-textile usage in the Northeast region,
 Scheme for the usage of geotechnical textiles in the Northeast,
Benefits under Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and Schemes for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP).
Domestic consumption has increased by 6.8 per cent in recent years. To make the Indian technical textiles industry competitive globally, a dual policy needs to be adopted for exports as well as domestic markets. The industry is expected to expand at CAGR of 13.11 per cent during 2018–23 to $32 billion.

 

Exports and imports

 

India is a net exporter of technical textile products, with exports touching $1,849.8 million in 2017–18. Exports will grow at a CAGR of 3.3 per cent in the five years. After two consecutive years of decline, exports recovered remarkably in 2017–18 to register a significant y-o-y growth of 18.4 per cent, increasing from $1,562.5 million in the previous year to $1,849.8 million in 2017–18.
The US was the leading destination with exports estimated at $336.8 million in 2017-18. The value of US exports recorded a healthy CAGR of 10.6 per cent in the period between 2013–14 and 2017–18. The US share in Indian exports of technical textiles increased from 13.9 per cent to 18.2 per cent in the period.
Imports of technical textile products ($1,744.8 million) increased substantially in 2017–18 at a growth rate of 21.7 per cent. Imports recorded a CAGR of 8.1 per cent between 2013–14 and 2017–18.
The largest import source of technical textile products was China, accounting for more than 50 per centshare in both 2013–14 and 2017–18. The value of imports from China recorded a CAGR of 8.2 per cent in those four years. Other major import sources in 2017–18 included Thailand, Taiwan, the US, Bangladesh, Germany, South Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Nepal.

Growth as global manufacturer

India should grow as a global technical textiles manufacturing hub with the following advantages:
 Extensive availability of textile raw material;
 Technical textiles being a labour-intensive industry, the presence of a large pool of labour at a comparatively low cost can provide a competitive edge over technical textile producing countries like China, the US, and those in Europe;
 Power costs are lower than other countries, and lending rates are higher than in China and Vietnam; with government schemes, the effective cost of capital becomes comparable;
 India’s infrastructure for technical textiles is developing with investment in R&D, testing and investor facilitation from the Centre of Excellence.
Even though the global industry is dominated by European countries and China, there is potential in India to emerge as a global manufacturing hub for technical textiles in the future.
Steps needed to grow further
Indian government schemes for textiles and apparel manufacturers have been targeting technology up-gradation, infrastructure development, export promotion and many more segments. State governments should also announce their own policies for attracting investors to their respective states.
However, India is yet to exploit its potential in technical textiles sector due to reasons such as the absence of regulatory measures for technical textile usage in various industries. Moreover, the country is still dependent on imports for technology and advanced machinery and India has limited production of high-end products and specialized yarns and intricate duty structure.
To facilitate the growth of the Indian technical textiles industry, several measures need attention. Some of them are:
 Establishing regulatory norms to increase the consumption of technical textile goods;
 Developing exclusive HSN codes to identify high growth products for further development;
 Establishing and implementing Indian standards to develop high-quality products for global acceptance;
 Better operational standards;
 Focus on training, education and creating end-user awareness to boost domestic demand for high-end technical textile products.
Besides this, India should also focus on forming partnerships with other global payers for acquiring technical know-how. This will help the country to attract large-scale investments.

Q. How was the NIFT 2021 Exam? Was it lengthy, difficult or moderate? What’s your analysis of the exam?

The paper pattern of NIFT B.des entrance paper didn’t see any changes. The paper format and the number of questions were in accordance with the announced NIFT exam pattern with the difficulty levels being moderate, all in all the paper was quite doable for any consistent student. There were six passages, each passage of around 120-150 words, they were small and weren’t time consuming in reading, however comprehending was more on an inference-based questions, which was little tricky for the students. Student with a good reading habit will surely find it easily doable. the topic based was on varied subjects, ranging from opera, music and art fair, aquatic animal to weirdest profession, other section of English was easy to moderate, the easiest being to identify the plural form, same was with one-word substitution and to identify the correct spelt word, idioms and phrase was moderate and same with antonyms and synonyms

Reasoning had mix of topics like Assertion and reason, puzzles which was little time taking but doable, other topics of cubes, series, Odd ones out, blood relations, directions, coding decoding, ranking & positioning could be attempted carefully.

Quantitative on the other hand saw all major topics covered from number system to ratio & proportion, SI, CI, profit & loss, work time, mixtures & allegations, etc.

The General knowledge segment was moderately easy with questions which has question three questions from brands, two questions on noble prize and four questions from static GK everything that we have been recommending and mentoring for found its presence in the exam. It will be fit to say that there were no surprises.

GAT section was not at all lengthy , 100 questions could be comfortably attempted in allotted time .If all the sections were attempted properly any score above 65-70/100 could be easily achieved

Q. Creative Ability Test is conducted to judge the Design Ability and Creativity of the student. Out of the three questions asked in the NIFT exam, which one required the most efforts and was the easiest?

Analysis of question is very important and also its imperative to understand what the examiner wants , In CAT this year too there were three questions to attempt. Two were from visual communication and the third was a creative product representation based.

Question No 1: “Design a virtual space for Webinar”.
This was for some tricky but at the same time a little brain storming could have gave students edge, as everyone is now well versed with EdTech platforms like Zoom ,Google meet ,Go to meeting etc. thanks to COVID 19 , we all had learning /interactions/meetings on these

platforms ,the question demanded to design a hypothetical digital meeting / learning platform and not the one that already exist as question was not on Re-design ,it was altogether about design a new interface display ,wherein student had the liberty to coin new brand ,slogan as well as its logo altogether. Reading the question properly and inferring it, was the key , as some students even ended up drawing a physical recording studio for webinar. That’s why it’s not about “How you draw’ but it’s all about “what you draw “

Q2: Design Emojis for the following:
(a) see you again (b) I don’t know (c) good morning (d) good night (e) sh…

It was again a visual communication question, where emojis for different communication has to be designed, one need to be very particular and avoid drawing the same circular shaped emoji, instead define, what is emoji ,it’s basically a visual which interpret a message or a communication , many of students would have interpreted it only as emoji face , which is very conventional.

This was the most easiest question in CAT but at the same time your creativity is being judged ,
how much you think “ out of the box”

Q3: choose any musical instrument and depict any four festivals each in a given box.

The challenge in any design exam is “ what you interpret” from the question.
There was clear instructions to innovate, design, change shape, colour, pattern of the instrument. Students were confused as to whether they had to choose one instrument and interpret it for four different festivals differently or four different instruments has to be used for each festival separately. Since the instrument could be completely renovated in terms of its
shape and form as well, it would be very interesting to see one instrument take four completely different forms. Ideally musical instrument is classified by the method of producing sound i.e. . Wind instrument, stringed instrument , percussion instrument etc . so ideally the question demands using a musical instrument type for different festivals, so if you choose string instruments then it could be guitar, violin, sitar and harp for different festival.

Knowledge on musical instrument as well as festival was the key , this question can be a decider for range of marks the students are expecting in their CAT part.

Q. Which were the toughest sections in the NIFT 2021 General Ability Test (GAT)?

Students found quantitative section tough as compared to other sections in GAT, this year the questions were more on application based rather than on implied basis, it was little time taking as one need to apply their understanding of the topic. Questions were from average, percentage, time & speed, S.I & C.I, Profit & loss, Ratio proportion and Number system.

Q. Was there anything unexpected in the NIFT Entrance Exam? If yes, then what was it?

Not at all, there was nothing unexpected as such, it was in line with what NIFT had notified in their notification

Q. How should students prepare for the Situation Test? What are important aspects they must keep in mind?

After student clears the CAT and GAT exam (CAT 50% and GAT 30%) weightage is given to this test, NIFT situation test is conducted (20% weightage). It is to evaluate the candidate’s skills for material handling and innovative ability in a given situation with a provided set of materials. Candidates must know how to crack NIFT situation test as their admission also based on the performance in the situation test which is the final round of the admission process. A total of 3038 seats across Bachelor of Design (B.Des.) programmes will be offered admission to the
shortlisted candidates across the across 16 campuses of the NIFT institute.

The following are the key to do for NIFT Situation test.
1- Make yourself familiar with materials, materials could be anything that you usually find
at your home i.e. Plastic (bags, bottles, packaging, utensils), Cloth fabrics, strings ( jute, rubber bands, plastic etc.) ,scarp metals, needles & threads ,different papers etc
2- Always learn and practice in group especially in classroom , as there will be lots and lots
of brainstorming ,boosting your ideations and creativity
3- Exchange thoughts, ideas with your mentor and also be very open to learning.
4- Explore unconventional use of materials, handling them effectively and productively is something requires time, so start your Situation test preparation early.

Its very important to acknowledge that situation test will definitely a key to boost up the ranking, and getting top NIFT Campus is altogether based on your ranking. even a small difference in marks , creates a wide gap in the ranking . so take the situation test very “ SERIOUSLY “

Q. According to you, when must a NIFT aspirant start preparing to get the best results?

Start early, stay ahead with your strategy and make a Strategic plan to get an edge over others. Successful are those who knows what they are meant for, where is their interest & which field they are passionate about. Once you make yourself clear that your goal is to pursue art &
design as a career devise productive time management strategies with a view of acing the NIFT
exam with good rank.

Ideally it is recommended that one should start preparation at high school level , but do not assume it to be mandatory , as NIFT exam is all about your ability to effectively execute your ideas and creativity in a piece of paper ,so first identify your existing skill set and what level you need to take these skill sets to score good ranking in exam . as your school grades are not indicator of these skill sets , so it becomes imperative for NIFT aspirants to choose a mentor & guide, who would actually identify your skill set and at the same time hone up the your own set of competencies.

Durga – For the GDPI sessions I was new to all of these things and I didn’t face anything like that before so for that I joined a crash course, I joined it by Pahal Institute. One of my teachers is in front of me and taking my interview. It really helped me a lot I was personally an anxious person but now I have that sense of confidence that I can speak in front of a strange people and having those coverage of wide variety of topics, subjects, the pdfs, the lectures , the day to day updation and everything was so in practice and in flow that I gave my best at the point when I needed it. So it was all because of you all.

Pahal Design – It was your hard work as well Durga so what mistakes you did and you want the future aspirants to avoid it.

Durga – So, mistakes I used to get blank at some point of time, and you get blank because you do not know about the content that you have been asked for so for that work on your content part, work on your subject part, work on your basics so it is not a very rocket science kind of a thing that you have to need to focus on small basics part and second thing is that the aspirants should practice a lot.  practice makes a man perfect so you just need to focus on what you need to do.

Pahal Design – How much time should every aspirant contribute or dedicate in a day?

Durga – First thing I would say that it fully depends on individual’s ability and how much dedicate you are towards your goal. During my written exam I used to study for like 3-4 hours a day honestly. I am not studious, not at all, but to get that opportunity of being fully flourished. I just studied and prepared anyway to make my dream come true. I remember the time when I used to stand in front of the mirror daily and tell myself daily that you have to do it & you will do it, and this thing motivated me to do it in spite of making me anxious.

Pahal Design – How was your PI?

Durga – Yes, if I talk about the present scenario, in this Covid-19 situation it was all lockdown and I had ample of time to prepare. It was a good opportunity and good time to get prepared for all of the Interview so I was not very confident about GD and interview  I used to prepare for 4-5 hours like not doing 5-6 hours straight but like 2 hours after that taking break and then after 1 hour just like that.

Pahal Design – What was the reaction of your family when you told them that you want to be in fashion industry.

Durga – I would say that I am lucky in this case my parents are really convincing and they are always supportive and at the same time encouraging me every time to do whatever I want, I remember I told them that I want to pursue a degree in master of fashion technology then my father and mother just smiled and they just said that you really want it you will get it your mom and dad are always by your side you just don’t worry you just work hard and put your efforts and we are always there so it was not that difficult for me to convince them.

Pahal Design – Is there anything else you would want to share or any tip you want to give to the future aspirant who are preparing for M.F.Tech?

Durga – I would give my tip which I inculcated into myself very strongly and very strictly I would say that there are 3 things that needs to be mentioned that needs to be in your head forever and ever – First thing is practice second thing is the determination and in simple words I would say stubbornness your eagerness your excitement for the thing that you want and the third thing is your dedication like dedication is the one thing like if you are not doing it for the one time try for the second time it is like that nothing is impossible you can achieve it if you want it.
