It's a great career for those passionate about helping others look and feel their best. Graphic Design If you're creative and love working on a computer, graphic design is a strong option. This course focuses on visual communication, digital tools, typography, branding, and layout design. Graphic designers find work in advertising, social media, publishing, and freelance projects. Candidates who wish to pursue Bachelor of Design (BDes) programmes from premier institutes like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Indore and IIT Roorkee may aim for UCEED (Undergraduate Common Entrance Examination for Design).
