I'd like to be a graphic designer

[LadyAibrean]

Why don't they ask someone that actually does design? He said he doesn't do it. This is the viewpoint from like a VP/creative director.

@anonymous66136 You just should go to an art-school and learn the tricks. At school they sure will test how much criticism you can handle, and of course you'll be trained how to take this in a good way. In Graphic Design, you always will have people who don't like it, so you should take critism seriously and use this to become better! However, you're just 15 and this gives you the oppertunity to practice a lot before you actually join artschool. Good luck :)

So..is he a photographer or a graphic designer? Sounds really out of date and...cheesy.

Sincerely,

A Graphic Designer

I'm 15 years old and I have always wanted to be a graphic designer. However, the one issue that I have is that I'm very enclosed about my work. What i mean is that I'm afraid to show my work because of a fear of criticism. I hear people do freelance work at the age of 17, and I wonder just how they have the confidence to showcase their designs to companies. I guess it's something I'll have to work towards.

@ringhede92

oohh..alright..thanks :)

I do photography,photo re-touching,and I make logos too :D

I also edit video's..please check out my channel and comment if you'd like.I'd appreciate it

:)

[ringhede92]

@Mrfitrider1 making logos is what a graphical designer does. there are other studios who does photo re-touching, but photographers often do this themselves. it takes a photographers eye to make good re-touching. and an illustrator job for making pictures from scratch. so it's really different categories. but hey. come up width a nice business idea and start your own firm where you can do whatever you like to do.
