What is Environmental Design?

Environmental, as opposed to conventional, graphic design refers to the three-dimensional world and the practice of design in 3D versus 2D realm. This is a design profession embracing many design disciplines including graphic design, architecture, industrial design and landscape architecture.

Training

Most jobs in the field of “Environmental Graphic Design” requested that you should have a degree or experience in Graphic Design, Architectural Design, Advertising Design, Logo Design, Brochure Design and many others.

Pay

The average pay for an Architectural Intern in this field is around $30,000. I couldn’t find pay for any other jobs in the field other than the architectural aspect of it, so I would think that the pay would be about the same for a design job in the same field.

SEGD

The SEGD organization (Society for Environmental Graphic Design), founded in 1973, has over 1000 members including international members and trade/vendor members. Credentialing for EGD practitioners generally involves achieving a Bachelor's degree education level in one of the allied design professions (graphic design, industrial design, architecture, interior design, etc.) and the practice in a firm or organization where this work is performed. Currently no certification exists in this profession. Baroon
