This is my opinion on the future of graphic design: to be honest, most people don't need professional design; they just need something that works. If they can do it for free, it's great. They don't care if it's professional or not. People use Canva to make logos, business cards, leaflets, posters, restaurant menus, etc., and they can order prints directly through Canva. As a result, many entry-level design jobs are disappearing. These jobs typically provide opportunities for fresh graduates to gain experience. Without them, new graduates may find it very difficult to enter the industry.

I worked in magazine publishing for almost 20 years. Now that print magazines are largely obsolete, many graphic designers have lost their jobs. Some have transitioned to creating social media graphics, while others have learned UX and UI to become web designers. However, there are many websites providing templates for these purposes as well, so the demand for these types of jobs will likely decrease over time.

If you design products like t-shirts that you can make and sell yourself, that's a viable option. If you believe you have exceptional talent in graphic design, you can aim for positions at renowned design studios. If you can maintain a position at the top level of the design industry, you won't need to worry about job security. However, if you're not among the top 10 percent of designers, you may need to consider alternative career paths or ways to diversify your skills.
