designers = craftsperson what u are trying to achieve is totally different. designers or people in the creative field (like myself) are being squeezed left right centre. our wages are stagnant and truth be told, most of my graphic designer friends in my batch (I'm 40) ended up abandoning their graphic design jobs. why? coz u literally slog for minimal pay. it's art. not science. and beauty is in the eye of the wallet-holder. your client will, in one way or another, dictate how your art will look like else he wont pay up. also, even if u win this round, it is likely he wont engage your services or find ways to fire u (it happened to my friend recently). so, who lose big time in the end? the graphic designer leh. the creative arts space is not appreciated in SG, unlike in say, the US or other eurpoean countries where the creative arts is thriving due to their historical and cultural appreciation for the arts. i have a cousin who is a high level ballet teacher and she is also suffering. finally, with free design software like canva and design automation, IMHO, the path of a graphic designer is very bleak and has no future in SG. |

to TS, doing design in singapore doesnt pay exactly well unless you are one of the "unicorns". meaning multi-disciplined designers, and not just within different aspects within design (like industrial design, graphic design, uiux, interior, etc) but instead, cross-discipline like with background in computing science, mechanical engineering, psychology, business, etc. a "normal" design graduate earns about 2.8k to 3.5k, the earlier mentioned bunch brings in above 5k as a fresh grad. need to constantly upgrade yourself, picking up new skills and getting certified for them is one way to go, the other is to take on freelance projects of different nature on the side to gain experience. speaking from experience here as someone who started my freelance practice in the design field for more than 10 years. Now I'm almost mid-30s, drawing around 10 from my full-time job in a senior role, not so active doing freelance anymore. jiayou. |

DanielStone | Instead of working for a company, why don't you try working for yourself? You can handle your own responsibilities. The only problem is finding clients, but it's a matter of time. Once you find a couple of people, you'll already have a base of clients who will come to you in the future. In addition, they can recommend you to their friends. That's how it works. I took this difficult step in my life myself. At Planner5D, you can see a list of my work. | |

Unregistered | U can try management consulting. The design thinking concepts and framework which yiu have probably learnt and applied before is actually very useful in consulting when we have design sessions to understand what users really want to solve. Then we prescribe the tools needed to solve it and then in terms of your extra skillset you can contribute by working with the clients to come up with the user journey of eg. Using an app, or help in confirming the UI itself. Interactivity, feedback etc. All very interesting. Just look into this field, maybe it is more aligned with your skillset and what you wanna do for a career. | |

Unregistered | Hello, I want to share with you a not so pleasant story. I moved into a new house and the house paint job went bad. I was very upset and didn't know what to do. Of course I wanted to paint the walls by myself, I even bought paint and got to work. But as time went on, I realized that I couldn't do it. Thank goodness a friend of mine told me about a cheap exterior painting service he used himself. Now I am the happy owner of a new colorful house. I recommend this service to you: s://.paintingservicesingapore.sg/ | |
