How to Become a Graphic Designer

How to Become a Graphic Designer



Graphic designing has a lot of opportunities as this is the era of digital and visual media. Lot of firms require a graphic designer for their daily needs such as designing advertisements, logos, banners, cards etc.


Steps

  1. Purchase reputable texts on design fundamentals, then study as though you were taking a course in a good design program. There is no need to have a creative streak or "eye" for design, with practice, anyone can learn.
  2. Join a course in Graphic Designing to learn software like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, etc. Don't worry about color theory or pre-press; they can fix it at the printer's end. If you cannot use the filters in Photoshop, you will never be a good designer.
  3. Keep observing the designs being featured in newspapers, magazines, hoarding etc.
  4. Practice designing daily on your system. Your design may not have a concept per se, but at least it will look cool. There are plenty of neighbors and people just starting out that will let you design for free. Practice makes perfect.
  5. Try to use different shapes and color combinations in the designs you make. Make sure to use circles. Circles are key!
  6. Research popular fonts and design styles. Make sure anyone over the age of eighty can read it without their glasses.
  7. Further your education. Really interested in Graphic Design? Consider some classes or a degree program. Academic settings can be inspiring and networking with others in your field is always a good thing.
