First things first! You will need to work hard! Anyone can be a Graphic Designer all you need is the desire to become one. If you are just starting out, i.e. young, you can attend university and complete a degree in Graphic Design. By the time you have completed this course you would have a strong portfolio and the knowledge base to work with. This would be the best start for anyone planning a career in this field. If you don’t have the time and wish to do this by yourself start from the beginning and get the tools you need to do the job. If you’re not sure about what to get then keep checking back here where I will be covering ‘Work environment for a Graphic Designer’ a bit later in the week. I have always read books relating to what I’m learning, find books on how to draw things like the human body, wildlife and nature the ocean and its wonders. These will help a great deal as they give you an insight into how talented artists achieve realistic results and the techniques they use. Don’t forget you don’t need to be a Vincent Van Gogh with pencil and paper to be a good Graphic Designer, let the computer do all the work for you!
