How to Start Your Career in Graphic Designing

[Jasmine]

Graphic Designing is one of the most lucrative careers, if you are a graphic designer, you can easily find jobs online or offline, you can even sell your services and establish yourself as self employed individual.

If you want to establish yourself as a graphic designer, you need to have skills in graphic designing software like photoshop, corel draw, etc. If you think these are expensive programs and tale a lot of time to master skills, you can start using online tool like Canva.

Photoshop is one of the best graphic designing software. If you have never used photoshop, you can join a course or watch youtube video and follow the guide to Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop has many versions, you can use any versions you want. Whether you are using CS2 or CS5, it is the same Photoshop. All versions of Photoshop have the features you need. Photoshop is expensive software, if you do not have money to buy photoshop, you can start using GIMP. GIMP is just like Photoshop but it is completely free.

Programs like Photoshop require a lot of practice. Canva is a good alternative to Photoshop. You can use Canva to create any kind of graphic. Canva is free but you need to pay to use premium template.

Graphic designing is really good and is high on the demand, that is what I am even trying to learn when my laptop arrive, but after learning it is still possible that we needs to engage in a lot of advertisement even as a freelancer to be able to attract a lot of people that might be interested in our service, it may not really be easy at the beginning but with proper marketing strategy I believe it is possible to for us to achieve success in whatever we are doing .we don't have to only learn the skill but we should also have a good idea of how to attract people to our services.

The very first thing you must know is basic things about using power point and many other kinds of graphic designing software. if you do not know how to use them, then you must first learn how to use such kind of softwares. After that, you must take an admission in an institute where they teach graphic designing. The total time period of learning this course is around 4 or 5 months. You must also practice at home.

I would not even consider power point is a tool for make presentations. It is not connected with graphic designing. Graphic designing means you have the ability to use software like photoshop, corel draw, indesign, etc. Instead of trying to learn too many graphic designing software, you can also focus on just one software i.e. photoshop. If you know how to use photoshop, there is nothing that you cannot do on this software from image manipulation to airbrushing and creating logo and flyers
