Если вы хотите найти работу в Великобритании, посмотрите, какого рода работу может найти графический дизайнер.

Метрополитан колледж Бирмингема (Birmingham Metropolitan College) ищет графического дизайнера на постоянную работу. Бирмингем – второй по величине город Англии, но не такой неоправданно дорогой, как Лондон. Так что жить там и недорого, и нескучно.

Краткое описание требований к дизайнеру (перевод не делаю, т.к., если вы ищете работу в Англии, английский придется научиться понимать).
