Task 1 - Skills - Who am I and who needs me?

P - P - P - P

My Graphic Design course teaches such a wide range of skills that there are business opportunities everywhere.

So far my skills involve type, layout, print, photography, knowledge of software and packaging; all of which have sub-categories and different job threads and possibilities. Of course I will narrow down this list over the next year to a fewer number of specialist areas. It is these which I need to apply to the global design world.

After researching a little it is clear that virtually every business has a need for design of some sort, be is communicative, informative or advertising.

There are two main types of business, corporate and private. The one thing they both have in common is a need to succeed, and to succeed they must have an image, solid products, good promotion and business development. This is what I as a designer can and will be able to offer.

...

To list a few large areas of global society which have design needs:

- Health Industry

- The economy (globally as well as nationally)

- Public services (councils/government)

- The law

- Schooling & education

...

Of course there are many more, but these are main areas of society which filter down into thousands of sub-categories; all of which have design needs.
