Where a production designer can go next
5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a production designer already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.
Production designers are responsible for the complete look (style, colouring and locations) of television programmes, series, motion pictures and commercials. They create the visual concept for the entire production such as set design, lighting, costumes and camera angles. Production designers work together with the director, designers and oversee the art department. They also create sketches, drawings, do colouring and location research and advise props and stage settings to the director.

How these figures were compiled
Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a production designer already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
