Summary

Introduction

Design education in Ukraine in the XX and early XXI century was not recognized as a relevant area of education, and the training of future designers was on the periphery of theoretical research and design practice, and the education system in general. Due to the socio-economic transformations of the civilizational development of many states worldwide, the formation of design has gained practical significance, and made it possible to solve socially meaningful problems This contributed to the formation of a complex and multilevel system of design education, which is in constant correlation, due to the historical dynamics of the subject of design, as well as the limits of its practical and theoretical interpretation [2]. Graduates of modern design education institutions are not prepared for life in an innovative economy, do not understand the mechanisms of self-realization by starting a business, entrepreneurship is a kind of creative, exploratory, risky social activity and in most countries is considered one of the most prestigious This type of activity in the appropriate conditions reveals the personal nature of the specialist. The formation of a designer as an entrepreneur is closely correlated with the process of his/her formation as a creative person, developer of innovative projects, extraordinary techniques and technologies, inventor of new ways and means of society development [3; 4]
