CAREER PLANS: designers


Anhelina Dikina, 9a

As for me, at present I consider becoming a designer of computer games. I want to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather, so I have the first hand information about this profession as my grandpa has shared his experience with me. There are many advantages and disadvantages to doing his kind of job.

One of the main advantages of being a game developer is that job really brings pleasure. Though I may spend many hours inventing game characters, it’s really rewarding to understand that players will appreciate your work and will receive the same pleasure from the game as I did from its creation. Secondly, it is a well-paid job as many people are addicted to computer games and new games are always in demand. Thirdly, you don’t have to be employed at an office and work steady hours. Furthermore, the profession requires a lot of creativity and monotonous work that I’m good at. In addition to that, I have good prospects in this area. I can work not only as a designer, but also as an illustrator of books, magazines.

On the other hand, there are disadvantages to becoming a designer. Firstly, since there are a lot of designers, fame and quick career are not guaranteed. Secondly, the work is really tiring, working as a designer of computer games, you have to forget about sleep and health too. You have great responsibility; you must be eternal fire and generator of ideas and never fade away. In addition, sedentary way of life does harm too. Such people can get hypodynamia in future.

Also, I know that a good professional in this sphere should be creative, it is necessary to possess this quality to create new masterpieces. Moreover I must have communication skills to interact with clients. In addition I have to be imaginative, always think of new and new projects. All successful people are confident. Of course I must be knowledgeable ,because I have to work so fast and without knowledge it isn’t possible.

All things considered, becoming a designer of computer games is a good choice for me because in my opnion, I’m suited for this occupation. First of all, I am aware of all risks involved. In addition to that, I am imaginative, creative and knowledgeable. Moreover, I am interested in art history, languages and web designer. Finally, I am good at drawing and redaction. Anyway, I still have some years ahead to make final choice. But now I know for sure that I must focus on such subjects as languages, computer science and art because they will be necessary for my future career.
