Design

Anand, you may look at fields of Vision and Design. Vision requires an ability to absorb knowledge and find new perspectives. Then the perspectives must be presented either as a Story or as a Commentary/ Documentary. This can also be translated into a New Product, a New Game, a Live Film, an Animation, or a New Graphic/ Illustration. Design is a field that is age old and has been evolving every year like science. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamoured by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design. They must read this http://bit.ly/SXc9GD. Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D Printing, Immersive Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Projection etc, besides of course Game Design & Animation. Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing (usually reserved for writers and visionaries) - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, & of course Game Studios. At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world and the careers it offers. There are many careers for the creative/ artistic people. Interiors, textile as well as Web Design rely on the same skills - your layout skills and color sense. Journalism also is at this level and relies on your language skills & knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches Graphic Design, Fashion Design, jewellery design, Acting, & Fine Arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching & imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as Motion Graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills - Cinematographic skills & imagination. Then come careers like Animation, Film Making, Game Design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling and problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world & hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers. Wish you the best for your career. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Linu, If you've already done an Digital Media/ Visual Communication/Animation Diploma or Degree, then hereafter only experience and quality matter. Your quality of work is very important. This can be achieved in an Internship or mentoring program or diploma. That is what it seems you need. Do read this http://bit.ly/1hVBJHm on how to crack an Animation Career. There are some good Mentorship programs like Animation Mentor - online, Method Art - Virtualsoft, Native Puppets etc. If you have teh funds to study abroad then Vancouver Film School is a good option. I am also a student advisor for them, and can help prepare you for their portfolio requirements (that can save you some money and avoid spending an year in Art Foundation). You may also like to read this about the kind of preparation the best students put into this http://bit.ly/1ddUSi8. Do see which path suits you. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Akarsh, automobile design is a technical area if you're entering from an engineering perspective. However, from a design perspective you can enter automobile/ product design as well. To do that, you must be good in sketching - so join a good life art course like MethodArt. Also, you may pickup 3D software knowledge so that you can model the same in 3D as well with the right lighting and textures.
studying abroad in design is also great but you would need to understand their structure and how it works. if you're still searching you can look at studying for a job oriented diploma at a leading school in canada. If you want advice on that I can guide you and put you across to the best schools. Some of the students I have guided are studying at Sheridan, VFS, Emily Carr, Bournemoth and others. You can call me and discuss if you like since I am also an advisor and portfolio guide for some of them. However, these schools look for a good portfolio in drawing/ animation the most, and some areas can make do with a digital portfolio if good. You would need someone to take you through this since if the portfolio is rejected you would spend another year remaking it. It takes around a year to get a good portfolio in place unless you are very talented. Wish you the best for your career.
