Architects design all types of buildings, not just houses. Interior and spatial design makes use of architectural knowledge, creative design skills and project management to create beautiful and functional spaces. Interior and space designers work on the design and renovation of interior spaces, including lighting, furniture, accessories, color combinations and structural alterations. The salaries of interior and space designers depend on the location and reputation of the clients, with higher costs charged for high-profile projects. Exhibition designers work on large scale commercial public exhibitions, events, showcases, trade conferences, trade fairs and cultural exhibitions (for libraries, galleries and museums).
They are responsible for interpreting the customer's idea and overseeing the implementation of all ideas and plans at the exhibition site. The salaries of exhibition designers depend on the size of the company, with independent exhibition designers usually paid for each exhibition or per day. Production designers are creative powerhouses with excellent talent for the visual arts. They are responsible for designing sets, accessories, lighting, graphics, costumes and camera angles for theater, film and television productions. Production designers are not entry-level positions; those who are hired have a lot of experience or have been part of a certain production company in a subordinate position.
The salaries of production designers depend on the nature and number of projects they have worked on. Visual marketers develop, deliver and communicate visual strategies and concepts for the promotion of services and products online, in stores or in catalogs. They work to attract, thrill, entertain and maintain the target audience of a particular brand, agency, store or gallery. The salaries of visual marketers depend on the size of the brand they are working on. Home designers can determine their career goals through career progression. For example, they could start with a position as a designer, advance to a degree as a project manager, and finally end with the title of marketing communications manager.
All these jobs involve working with other departments to create promotional strategies and events. Engineers use mathematical and scientific principles to provide solutions to society's problems. Civil engineers design and supervise the construction of roads, buildings, and bridges; structural engineers build drawings for use by contractors and construction workers; architects design skyscrapers, schools, houses and museums; interior designers combine aesthetics with functionality to make spaces attractive, functional and safe; directors work with senior management to establish and perpetuate the vision of design within an organization; visual marketers collaborate with other departments to create promotional strategies; draftsmen or technical CAD designers must demonstrate expert use of AutoCAD software to create high-quality design drawings for building construction. Interior designers with management degrees are literally tasked with directing design tasks within the company and making critical project decisions based on their industry experience. Freelancers who develop strong skills using several advanced architectural design programs can also be hired to create digital designs.
