Hi reader,
I am a graphic designing student. Actually, graphic designers create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand, to communicate ideas that inspire, inform and captivate consumers. They develop the overall layout and production design for various applications such as for advertisements, brochures, magazines, and corporate reports and I actually do not have much idea about civil engineering. Only thing I know is you should do your work only when you enjoying it, if it is burden on you, you should quit. You also look quite confused, you have to clear yourself what actually your dream is? And graphic designing is a course which you can learn any time in your lifespan. The job opportunities in this field are endless. What really matters is, are you enjoying your job. if you really want to be a graphic designer then there are no issues in coming to this field, you will always be welcome. Also, you can pursue the course after completing civil engineering.
Best of luck for your dreams and future.

Hello reader,
I am a freelance web designer and most of my friends are 3D artists. Web designing and 3DS max are like water and fire I.e very different from each other. For website design and development, one should know graphic designing and software like - Illustrator, InDesign, CorelDRAW, etc. Almost 2D stuff.
while 3DS Max is a software which is used for 3D animation, game modelling, images, graphics, etc. so both of them are very different to each other but both have a great value in the market.
When it comes to a job, 3DS max gives you a number of career opportunities than web designing.
The average pay scale of web designing in India is 2,33,558 INR per annum and will increase after some years of experience.
While the average pay scale of 3DS max user varies at different jobs and works, it could be 3,08,569 INR per annum and will increase too.
But you should never compromise with your interest.
If you like game modeling and 3S animation, you should go for 3DS max and if you like website designing and development, you should do so.
