DESIGN is no longer the preserve of academically weak students. This is the opinion of PJ College of Art & Design principal Toh Chee Lip who adds that design is now attracting high flyers drawn to the challenges of a career in the field.
He says: “Design has become more complex and sophisticated. Students are working in hi-tech environments and designers play a very important role in shaping our lives. Designers were previously known as commercial artists but now they work side by side with other professionals and provide consultancy services.”
