Last week Boundless Design was asked for the third year in a row to present our career as Graphic Designers to ~ 90 sixth grade students at Center Grove Middle School North. We enjoy career day and presenting to the students. Many students often ask meaningful questions and this year was the same. In fact, several students asked us more challenging and deeper questions than we sometimes even get from adults.
At career day, we present educational background, training, career experiences, describe a typical day in the design studio, character traits, salary range, etc. We also described “what we remembered as being our sixth grade dream profession/goal?”
The students all in all had a great day as we shared several tactical examples from business cards, to apparel, to brochures, to websites, etc. We also handed out several Blabber Duckies and color stripe bracelets which both were a huge hit with the students.
Career Day also challenged us to come up with a Top 5 List of Related Fields to Graphic Design :
- Art Teacher
- Web Designer
- Fashion Designer
- Interior Designer
- Event (Space) Planner
