The Graphic Design Industry has and will be ever changing and and growing with the world that demands it. Throughout the past few years the profession has greatly expanded. Through this, realizing theres a need for people from cross disciplines with a variety of background and skill set. The AIGA salary review pointed out a troubling insight. "the number of graphic designers is not recovering as quickly from the impact of the Great Recession as we had hoped. yet other roles we now include within the evolving profession and out membership—user-experience design, interaction design, software development, etc.—continue to grow." This can be discouraging to some, but to me this is only a motivation to grow into the designer that the field demands now more than ever. I believe there has also been a rise in up and coming graphic designers to fill the need that is ever growing. There were also more positives from this review. It revealed that out of the designers in this field 96% of these creative minds were happy in their career, and that 88% believe that there is hope for this industry and that the best of the industry is yet to come. In that being said, theres excitement in the fact that the designers of my time could be the ones to bring the best ages of design to our future! Maybe thats too hopeful and optimistic, yes there should be boundaries to our aspirations that keep them practical. But I can only hope that by finding a career that I'm truly happy in, I can also be bringing in the new times of design along side my fellow creatives in this field.
