By considering the provision of education of design professionals, it is possible to assess the changing nature of the design professions, in terms of discipline and growth. More recently, Sweden and Denmark have increased their investment in product design, which particularly feeds into the development of the telecommunications sector. In the UK, graphics, corporate identity and packaging dominate the educational provision for design. This is to be expected as design is a service provided to industry, and the dominant sectors of the economy for a particular country would be expected to require specific design.
