Can anyone provide insights into their experiences pursuing a career in fine arts or industrial design? I'm torn between the two and would appreciate any personal anecdotes or advice.
Fine arts allows for more creative freedom and expression, while industrial design may offer more job stability and potential for higher income. It ultimately depends on what you value more in a career.
I studied fine arts in college and have found it to be a rewarding but challenging field. It can be difficult to make a living solely as a fine artist, but the satisfaction of creating something meaningful is worth it to me.
I chose industrial design because I wanted a career that combined my love for creativity with practicality. I have found it to be a great fit for me, as I enjoy the process of designing products that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
I have friends who pursued fine arts and they often struggle to find consistent work and make a living. However, they are incredibly passionate about their art and wouldn't trade it for anything.
I work as an industrial designer and I love the collaborative aspect of the job. It's great to work with a team to bring a product from concept to reality, and seeing people interact with something I helped create is very satisfying.
