Welcome to Design Jobber!

The Student's Resource for learning about Graphic Design and how to prepare for work in the industry.

 

If you are a graphic or web design student in the UK and want to get a head start on learning all about the design industry then you have found the right place. This website offers knowledge straight from experienced graphic and web designers to help you fill in the blanks left by your university and college tutors.

 

As a former design student myself I know that your time at university will be more like a crash course on the road to a job in the design industry. I personally learned more in my first year after university than I did in the three years I spent paying over the odds for tuition fees and being told my tutor was at lunch for the next three hours!

 

Getting a job at a successful design agency isn't like walking into your nearest fast food restaurant with a CV written on the back of a torn beer mat. Design companies are not like other businesses. They are more like a family dynamic filled with skilled employees who have decades of experience in the industry. They will show you no mercy in an interview, and why should they? They've been there too and know how hard they had to work to get their foot in the door.

 

That is what Design Jobber is for. To make sure you are not in the dark about what you will need to survive in the design industry, to give you a chance at knowing what to expect and to make sure you don't get laughed at two minutes through the studio door!

 

I hope you find this website useful and informative.
