Conclusion


The design profession does not generate many job vacancies. Most designers prefer to set up their own business. Usually a designer begins his career as an employee in a design company. After he has gained enough experience and business connections, he can then establish his own company. This partly explains why most design firms are small and employ not too many staff. The number of staff in a medium-sized firm is often below twenty. Some designers also work as freelancers. Experienced designers may join professional bodies of design, which can enhance their status in the field.

Design profession goes along with changes in the society. Competitors are not only locally based, but also come from the Mainland and other countries. Therefore, design staff who wish to maintain their competitiveness have to upgrade their qualities and skills constantly and share experience with their peers. It is also beneficial to travel or work overseas for artistic advancement.
