Using computer software, they develop the overall layout and design of print ads for a variety of publications. Some also produce promotional displays and marketing brochures, design distinctive company logos, and develop signs and environmental graphics. An increasing number of designers develop material for the Internet. In 2004, 425,000 workers were employed in the Communications fields of Advertising and Public Relations; an additional 61,000 were self-employed. Employment is expected to grow 22% between 2004 and 2014—in contrast with 14% of all industries combined—but competition will be keen because the industry’s perceived glamour attracts more jobseekers than there are job openings.
