Design
Everything you touch, see and smell in your everyday life may have been influenced by a designer. Design careers range from fashion design, interior design and graphic design to architecture, industrial design and even food design.
What all of these careers have in common is a sense of composition and balance, along with an artist's ability to innovate and experiment. The function of your creation is also important. Unlike the fine arts, the field of design includes an emphasis on utility and function as well as form. If you are designing packaging, for example, your container needs to be eye-catching and informative as well as competent to hold the items that it stores. Designing effective websites and magazines means an ability to organize the information in a way that brings it to the reader's attention efficiently. And clothing design, however, outlandish, also has its functional requirements: the garments have to fit as they are intended, and flow properly when the wearer moves. They also have to scale well for people of different sizes and shapes. Whatever your interest, if you are a creative person with a sense of the practical, you may find that a design career is the perfect marriage of artistic flair and predictable income.
