Obtaining employment in the design field typically requires a bachelor' degree in Fine Arts. Having an understanding of color, proportion, spacing, font use and an eye for aesthetics is very important. Multimedia design relies heavily on computer software in production, so an associate' degree, or career training in these programs is beneficial for candidates lacking a four year degree. Multimedia designers must be prepared to update their software skills, since these programs are always changing.
Unless you want to start your own design business, eventually possessing a bachelor' degree in fine art, marketing or design will benefit your career.
