New-age careers in the Design industry
The design industry has been on the roll for the last few years. With everything getting digitalised, the demand for every sort of design has increased like never before. And this has brought up several new-age career options on the platter.
According to a survey by Startup Talky, the design industry in India is growing at the rate of 23-25% annually. Our country itself requires a substantial amount of designers every year for industrial, graphic, advertising, marketing, packaging, and other industries.
Here are some of the new-age career options that you could explore:

UI Designer
A lot of people feel that a UI (User Interface) designer is the same as a UX (User Experience) designer. But UI is all about designing the user’s visual experience through elements like buttons, swiping left or right, scrolling up or down, or pages.
However, the role of a UI designer doesn’t just stop here. It has a variety of tasks to be executed, right from selecting the typeface, colours, prototyping, testing, and more.
Video Game Designers
During the pandemic when the entire world was locked in their houses, the gaming industry saw rapid growth with the users who indulged in video games and sought them as a great source of entertainment.
Thus, designing video games can be considered as one of the fastest-growing yet profitable businesses in the design industry. A game designer is responsible for developing the game concepts and then bringing the concepts to life.
Packaging Designers
What looks visually appealing is sold out the most. This is the marketing strategy every business owner follows. But to make their products look appealing, they need someone to create their packaging design. And that’s exactly what a packaging designer does.
There is and will be a never-ending demand for packaging designing in the market, and hence, this made it to our list for one of the new-age careers in the design industry.
