Those Industrial Designers were trained at art schools! Under the art career umbrella there are a plethora of job paths, such as Fashion Design, Costume Design, Illustration, Graphic Design, Print Design, Textile and pattern design, Stop Motion Animation, Computer Graphic Animation, Advertisement design, Commercial Art, Product Design, Car Design, Product Design, Toy Design, Interior Design, Exhibition Design, Shoe design, Video Director, Storyboard Art, Etc. http://www.theartcareerproject.com/art-as-a-career/ a MASTERPIECE begins with a single paintstrokeChoose a FocusSo becoming an Animator interests you, where do you start?
