The topic today will be how one can become a successful graphic designer. To be a successful graphic designer, one should have the ability to catch the reader’s attention quickly. Most places that these advertisements are going are places where the reader will not have a long time to read such as billboards on roads and posters on walls. I am addressing this because before I delve into the deeper concepts of graphic designing, I should start with the basic topics so that people who are not familiar with graphic designers can get a faint idea. It is interesting because one should know what qualities a successful graphic designer will need.

Some common concerns with graphic designing are that if you are not artistic, you will not be a successful one. Many people shy away from graphic designing because they believe that drawing and sketching plays a big role in it. While it can, it is not true that you must be able to draw to be successful.

as a graphic designer, you the most important thing you will need is creativity. With creativity, you will make a reader stop and become interested in what is on the advertisement by making it stand out.  Secondly, another skill is the ability to stay organized and making it easily readable. A graphic designer should be able to stay organized so that they won’t mistake work for others or other things such as misspelling. On the advertisement, it shouldn’t have big words so that they don’t understand what is really written but words easily readable that will make reading it a lot smoother. Most of the work is digital so drawing is not really something that is needed in this day in age.

Personally, I am not a good drawer, but I make up for it with my creativity. I still have a lot to do in order to become a successful graphic designer, but I hope that with experience and belief in my abilities, I will soon reach the point where I can own my own business.
