A qualification in Art, Design and Creative media can open doors to many creative industries including advertising, animation, photography, fashion, film and architecture. Roles within these areas vary, from being involved in practical crafts to careers in administration and support. Example career pathways could be working as a Fine Artist, Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Photographer or Web Designer.
