The rise of mobile device users and the use of digital applications (App SmartPhone, SmartTV, home automation and automobile, etc.) opens a market that requires new interface design specialists who gather technical and functional knowledge for this environment.
A dual designer profile is required. It will not be valid for those who are solely 'print', who only transfer solutions from the printed to the digital media, nor for computer scientists, who, despite having programming knowledge, do not know the visual reading or communication resources necessary to develop a good user experience (UX-IX) in interactive products.
For this reason it is necessary that graphic artists are permeable to new information media, understanding them and facing the technological innovations they represent, based on a real understanding of the possibilities that these digital channels offer.
The quantity, speed and typology of information have been directly affected by the technological advancement of smart devices (smartphones and tablets) opening the designer new professional opportunities and even the possibility of creating his own business or his own startup.
