The Arts, Design, Fashion and Multimedia industry is one of the most popular and fastest evolving industry groups, firmly entrenched in the exciting world of advanced technology. Industry activities are centred on visual communication, visual merchandising, photography and graphic design, fashion design and footwear, fashion retail, multimedia, screen and motion picture, radio and television, graphic reproduction and printing. Increased training levels and employment opportunities are predicted for the applied design, printing and photographic industries following the widespread move (nationally and internationally) from photomechanical reproduction to digital reproduction. TAFE SA qualifications in these disciplines can lead to a wide variety of career options, such as: graphic design; commercial photography; multimedia development; screen and game artists; graphic pre-press; printing including screen printing, binding and finishing; desktop publishing; and photographic developing and printing.

Students with an interest and talent in visual arts, dance, acting or writing and those who wish to work behind the scenes in creative ventures such as galleries, studios, film, TV, theatre and publishing may well find their niche in this galaxy of career pathways. In the entertainment and media sectors, the competition is high but the rewards for those with dedication and talent are boundless. Employment is forecast to grow in the areas of film, television, radio and stage direction, the visual arts and crafts, and media production and presentation.
