A designer is a person who creates things, usually using some kind of a language like a spreadsheet, a programming language or even a CAD drawing program. A designer is also called upon to perform some kind of planning and research before creating a thing or sometimes even a whole structure. A designer does not only design but also writes code that enables the operation of machines, keeps track of progress of projects and sometimes even makes designs for customers and others to use in some way. Designers often work with architects, interior designers, artists, engineers and other professionals involved in design and construction. Designers are also called upon to do tests to ensure the functionality of machines, materials, etc.

A designer is not only found in designing companies but he/she can also be self-employed. Being a designer is one of the most sought after jobs today. A fashion designer can either work on his/her own or he/she can work for a company as well. In order to become a designer, it is very essential for them to master the craft and art of making beautiful things. Some of the designer clothing brands in the market are Jean Paul Gaultier, Dior, D&G, Yves Saint Laurent and Dolce & Gabana, to name a few.

Fashion designers have to think of new ways to present people with beautiful and fashionable clothes. Apart from this they should also take care of the color combinations, fabrics used, the textures, the cut and every minute detail of the manufacturing process. Interaction design and industrial design are two areas where interaction designers are needed the most. These designers help to enhance the beauty of a product, by implementing various techniques such as computer-aided design, 3D design and so on.
