The design industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the German economy. New technologies and new media require new skills and abilities, and the professional entry and career opportunities have increased accordingly.
Communication designers develop ideas and get to the heart of messages and content in a visually exciting and informative way.
Due to the wide range of media possibilities, communication design is the collective term for a whole series of - in some cases highly specialised - occupational fields that cover different areas of responsibility on a common training basis. For example
- corporate design
- graphic design
- editorial design
- interface design
- photography
- illustration
- Advertising
What makes working in these areas particularly interesting is the tension between traditional, analogue and new, digital tools and media, including social media.
They work independently, freelance or as employees for communication agencies, publishing houses, design offices, animation studios and wherever creative minds are needed to shape our culture and society.
