Design

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.
