How Can I Improve my Graphic Design Skills as a Beginner?
While many graphic designers work for a company, in 2010 nearly 30% were freelancers. It’s a job that you can do in your own home, making it one of the top careers in the world and all the programs you need are available for you to buy online. It might have been different in the past, but these days, the majority of people who want to become graphic designers are already using home computers to create their art.
Graphic design is more than drawing illustrations in Photoshop, and if you pay attention, you will see it is in every place you look. A few of your career options are working in advertising, publishing, public relations, media, industrial design, and a range of other industries. You can choose to design websites, ads, movies, book covers, stationary, video games, and product packaging too.
“Everyone has to start somewhere.”
It’s a matter of fact that to build your design skills, you need a solid base of knowledge to improve. Most graphic designers have attended art or design school to further their careers, and upon graduating, they have a foundation to build on with new skills they learn post-school. But if you are starting from scratch, and although it is a difficult path, you don’t necessarily need to get a degree in graphic design to pursue it as your chosen job field.
The following infographic will help you build new skills and get further as a graphic designer.
