Digital Designers

Employment for graphic designers is expected to grow 3 percent from 2018 to 2028, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), but opportunities should be much better for those who specialize in digital design. Employment of graphic designers in computer systems design and related services is projected to grow 24 percent over the same period, and job opportunities for designers who work for software publishers are expected to increase by 19 percent. The DOL says that "companies are continuing to increase their digital presence, requiring graphic designers to help create visually appealing and effective layouts of Web sites." Clearly, as computer graphic and Web-based technology continues to advance, there will be a need for well-trained digital designers.
