Business
A picture is worth one thousand words. It's true because visual communication can be simple, short, easy to use, and efficient in sending messages to an audience that you may or may not be in contact with. It's a loved medium by businesses because it speaks much more with the audience. And it gives the audience the chance to interpret it on their own. A design can be used to induce a mood to the viewer through colors and various rhythms.
When we look at the field of art which has been there since the dawn of mankind, we realize that it is one of the most lucrative fields up to today. As of 2019, the most expensive painting was the Salvator Mundi by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci which cost about USD 500 Million.
Modern art is generally computerized and is also so lucrative. The proof is that you can see so many websites selling art, illustrations, icons, or even fonts. Some famous examples are Shutterstock, iStock, the Envato market, etc.
The digitalization of art and design has created many more possibilities for businesses and made it easy to brand any existing businesses. Most business today uses design to brand themselves and their products.
Aside from the fact that you can offer your services to other people and businesses as a designer, you also start your own business or create your market to sell your work. In addition, with the event of social media, digital marketing has become a serious field and it requires graphics designing all the time.
