I was wrong when I thought that the companies like facebook,
Google and like have plenty of designers and if I graduated in computer
engineering that would not benefit my society.
When I was about to start my graduation school, I was being suggested by
my elders not to opt a technical field like Computer Engineering or IT since
there are many computer graduates around me wandering jobless. I had to go for
a field that was rarely known in my society. Well that was my personal
experience and story the base line is that I thought it is useless to get a
degree in technical fields like computer science however the demands of the day
proved me wrong.
The field of computer sciences was
always in demand. The variation existed in the field of specialization like
programmers and encoders were always in high demand but now the time has
favored the designers. Designers who put life in a website and Apps and the
latest trends in technology like i-phones and tablets make their demand real
high in market place. It seems like there are many students who graduated in
computer science and computer engineering but there are very less experts who
think out of the box. Because, every employer wants creative designers and the
designer had to dig his/her own ground to set himself / herself in the world
and to fulfill the employers ‘demand.
Manzari who is known as an
outstanding user interface designer for more than a century says he receives
calls from people asking for good designers. He says that there are many
designers but those who are exceptionally good are rare. Just to prove you that
there is a huge demand for designers let me share few facts with you.
·
Facebook dig out Dutch software Design Company known as Sofa in
June. It was the first time that the
designers get themselves focused just to get hold of its staff.
·
In September, Facebook made a deal with (AAPL and Fortune 500)
Mike Matas-interface designer. The deal was to bring talented designers and
their team instead of showing their interest in newly designed software for
writing e-books.
·
Google tried to buy Facebook creator Morin’s new company i.e. Path
for the same reason as indicated by knowledge of that deal. However, Google
desired for the Path team’s aesthetics and proficiency in creation of intuitive
mobile applications.
·
A company called “Dribble” known as invite-only site for designers
who show off their work has become a recruiting hub with currently 25,000
designers on Dribble and more than 60,000 are waiting for their turn.
·
Top two companies i.e. Google and Apple hire designers through
Dribble. $ 200 is charged per post for Dribble’s job board that currently
broadcast ads from multiple sites like ESPN and facebook etc.
In the end, I
will like to share that not only demand but the salaries are also increasing
for designers globally.
