Abstract

Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, is a unique city in many ways. It is geographically isolated from other capitals in the country, which gives rise to the “common sense” that the city and the North Region itself, in terms of design, are behind schedule. Thus, the general objective of this study is to demonstrate the perception of the graduates of the Design course at the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) about the design area in the city for these professionals. Data capture was obtained through qualitative research - descriptive and exploratory -, including bibliographical and documentary re-search, field study and survey. A questionnaire was applied, sent by e-mail and social networks of the graduates. Respondents explained that they did not give up the profession, that most got jobs in the area, both in the private and public sectors, and continued to specialize, thus guaranteeing salaries considered above average for the local sector.
