Post 5- Job requirements in the design industry.

There are many jobs in the design industry such as Art director, broadcast designer, logo designer, Art production manager and many more.
The job of the Art director is to make sure the illustrators and production artists hand in there work on time and to the correct standard. Art directors need highly advanced training in design as they will often be doing design work themselves. Th job of the Illustrator is very different to the Art director, Illustrators may do work for books, magazines and other printed forms of media. They could also do work on textiles, packaging, wrapping paper, greeting cards and calendars.
In the design industry there is a set heir-achy. You do not need to abide by this heir-achy if you chose to be a freelance and independent designer. Being a freelance designer would mean that you would have set up your own contracts, manage your own accounts and buy your own equipment. You would also require the basic skill of being able to run a small business.
