Design Job Descriptions — Page 2

This second page of the design directory covers letters F through J: twenty roles that include the category's most-searched titles. F alone carries ten — the fashion design director, fashion designer, fashion graphic designer and fashion illustrator, the fashion merchandiser, and the footwear and formalwear specialists. G adds the graphic design family and girls clothing design, H the handbag designer, I the illustrator, import merchandiser and intimate apparel designer, and J the junior graphics and juniors design roles. The main hub page lists every design role in a single A–Y index; this page presents the F–J group on its own for readers working through the directory in parts.

From Fashion Direction to Graphic Detail

The F–J letters show design at two scales. At the largest scale sit the direction roles: the fashion design director, who sets what a collection will be, and the graphic design director, who leads the team creating its prints, logos and applied graphics. At the working scale sit the specialists those directors depend on — illustrators who picture the garments, graphic designers who build the artwork, and product designers for footwear, handbags, formalwear and intimate apparel, each working in materials and construction logic of their own. A collection needs both scales at once, which is why these roles are so often hired together when a brand builds or rebuilds a design team.
