About art and design
A career in the field of Art and Design covers an enormous spectrum of activities. Design is everywhere around us, and successful artists have the ability to think outside of the conventional, and conceptualise their ideas into reality.
Depending on your specialisation, you could build a career either in companies or independently as an artist, designer or craftsperson, across areas like jewellery, ceramics, sculpture, illustration or fabric design and printing. Your understanding of design principles could see you take on design studio roles in a range of related industries including galleries, museums and theatres, or in art departments for film and television productions. Multimedia Design will allow you to work on web and software development projects, in digital gaming design studios or apply your skills to creating interactive elements for exhibitions in museums, galleries and trade shows.
