- I'm a designer
- Which makes me bias on the following topic a little bit
- I don't think the role of the designer is dying
- But it's definitely changing
- Design is so important
- And as more and more digital products are made
- And more things like Facebook, Instagram and snapchat makes loads of money
- We need more designers than ever
- But designers need to get more technical
- Because that's where the industry is going
- We'll still always need good graphic designers
- And good designers who can design brands
- But we need more technical designers more than ever
- So my bet right now for the next five years
- Is to diversify your design skill
- And become more technical
- In another 10 years time everything will probably change back again
- So if you want to play the long game
- Ignore everything I've said
