Media designers are creative professionals who design visual media for different platforms. They develop and produce digital media content, design graphics and layouts, edit images and videos and implement them using modern software tools. They work closely with customers and other designers to realize their ideas and concepts in appealing visual formats.
To work as a media designer, you need to have completed training in the field of media design (e.g. media designer for digital and print). This training usually lasts three years and teaches basic skills in graphic design, media technology and project management. Internships in the media industry are also helpful for gaining initial practical experience.
There are many career opportunities as a media designer. After training, you can specialize in different areas, such as graphic design, web design or film and video editing. There is also the opportunity to move up into management positions or become self-employed. You can also take advantage of a wide range of further training opportunities, for example in the areas of UX/UI design or digital marketing.
