Shiksha Top Questions

The hierarchy or the organizational set up of an advertising agency keeps both these profiles and do have a different scope of work as well as a profile for them.
A copywriter is a person who writes. This writing is of scripts of jingles for audio or video advertisement. This may be the text of a printed advt. material. The copywriter is responsible for composing the concept and bringing the words that make the best impact and create a brand of the advertised product.
The art director is the person who does an altogether different but comprehensive work than a copywriter. It is the art director who designs an advertisement of print or audio or video.
The art director is primarily the leader of the set up of shooting set where a TV or video commercial is shot. This way, a copywriter is someone who composes things in sync with the Director and Art Director's Concept and plan.

The degree of Bachelors in Mass Media aka mass communication or journalism and mass communication gives a foundation to the skill sets and knowledge to enter the media careers. There are specialisations offered through B.Sc and other technical degrees in the domain of mass media only where you may get more of direction and film-making learning.
However, I am on one to say that the degree of BMM is less capable of taking you to accomplish your dream of becoming a film director.
I shall suggest and share that a specialisation will always be needed. The course of film-making and production or degrees done from institutes like FTII or Whistling Woods or from AAFT or IIMC have the potential to lead you to the aim you are pursuing.
Go ahead and don't stop from doing the course that you are determined to. My advise would be to choose a good institution where film-making is preferred.

I should suggest you to have a look at their website. The placement varies in each and every university. That is why it would be better to have a glance of their website of what placement they are offering to their students. As every university has many kinds of students, the students will get the placement according to their merit. Providing placement in an university does not mean every student will get their desired job. The website of the university must be providing all kind of information, which students are looking for. Generally, placements are given like as junior reporter, TV anchor, in public relations, advertising, desk jobs of media house, reporting job of news house, etc. Internships are also important in this field as it helps a student to get some experience of it for further jobs. Good luck.

Hi, Footwear industry is largely divided three segments: designing, manufacturing and marketing. Designers handle the creative part of the job that is designing styles and patterns. They are hired as technical designers who have formal training in shoe pattern-making, cutting, designing and sample preparation, or as stylist designers. They have to be aware of the international fashion trends and have the ability to conceptualise a saleable product. The retail sector holds a promising future for the professionals trained in this field.
India today presents itself as a gold mine for any category, the footwear industry being no different. In the last decade we have seen an increase in discretionary income, a strong awareness of fashion sense through availability of international fashion media and increase in international travel. All these factors have led to a more fashion conscious customer who considers shoes and accessories as (if not more) important as clothes. A quick look at numbers substantiates this fact. Today the India footwear industry stands at Rs 24.1 thousand crores, a healthy 20 per cent growth over last year.
Following are the companies who hire Footwear Designers in India- Super house Kanpur U.P- Bangalore, KA- VKC Group Division II Kerala- Condor Foot wear India, Surat, GJ-RSPL Ltd Kanpur-Footwear Design & Development Institute- Delhi /NCR- Bata India Ltd, Gurgaon- Varita India Pvt Ltd, Pune- Nike- Lotus Footwear Ltd- Apache Footwear LtdThough there is a large number of vacancies, designers eventually start their own business.
Since the nature of job prospects in footwear designing is very diverse, the remuneration can vary tremendously. Initially, one can expect a starting salary somewhere around Rs. 10,000 - 12,000 per month. International players offer higher pay packages to freshers which can range between Rs. 15,000 - 20,000 per month. Independent footwear designers can generate revenue depending upon the nature of their assignments. Entrepreneurs in this field can make hefty earnings per annum depending upon the size and nature of their business.
