Design Scope

I would say that urban design is at a very nascent stage currently in India. Not much opportunities are available in India for core urban design projects. This field is very well defined and well developed in USA, Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. However, slowly people in India are realizing the importance of urban design. Large masterplans of new cities or even large townships aspire to have some elements of urban design to make themselves more meaningful and relevant. Learnings from western countries are creating an impact. As far as employment goes, currently you won't have much role as a core urban designer. Very few private firms in India are doing urban design work.
Large master plans at government bodies are done by planners. But recently government bodies have started to employ urban designer for their projects. Recently, Pune municipal corporation had opened vacancies for urban designers to work on street design of Pune. Therefore, you may have chance of working at any government organisation or some of the private firms who are doing urban design work or you may continue to work as an architect/urban designer. You can also take up some research projects as urban designer with some think tanks in the metropolitan cities or even independently. But no doubt, doing Masters in urban design will add tremendous knowledge to yourself.

Hi,
This career is for those people who are passionate about design and are artistic. Since this career involves designing homes/properties, and then executing those designs to create the environment that the client wants, the person should have excellent management and communication skills, as well as be creative with his/her work. Those people who are good at maintaining their spending according to a budget as well as people who have a good knowledge about various materials are people who should defiantly be looking at interior designing as a potential career path.
Moreover, people who have an eye for detail and enjoys solving puzzles would be an ideal interior designer. In India, Depending on the employer and one's experience the salary, including bonuses and commission for assistant interior designers ranges between Rs. 30,000 to Rs.40,000 per month. For senior interior designers, the salary, including bonuses and commission is approximately Rs. 800,000 to Rs. 3,000,000 per annum.

Graphic designers are required in so many industries like Advertisement industry, Print Industry, Web designing industry, etc. New designers must be aware of tools such as Photoshop, Gimp, Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Blend or more. But, within 3-4 years of experience, a designer career comes to a standstill (unless you have a highly creative mind and you are assisting or working as an art director). Unlike a career in programming where there are various layers (programming, analysis, project management) designing is more of an individual genius than teamwork. The salary of a designer gets stagnated to a level of INR. 4 lacs - INR. 5 lacs even after 6 + years of experience in the industry.
