Despite projected faster-than-average employment growth, designers
in most fields are expected to face keen competition for available
positions. Many talented individuals are attracted to careers as
designers. Individuals with little or no formal education in design,
as well as those who lack creativity and perseverance, will find
it very difficult to establish and maintain a career in design.
Overall, the employment of designers is expected to grow faster
than the average for all occupations through the year 2010. In addition
to those that result from employment growth, many job openings will
arise from the need to replace designers who leave the field. Demand
for graphic designers should increase because of the rapidly increasing
demand for Web-based graphics and the expansion of the video entertainment
market, including television, movies, videotape, and made-for-Internet
outlets.
