The first topic of my blog will be about graphic designing in general. So, what is a graphic designer? A graphic designer creates different visuals for all types of different companies. They are used to create things such as billboards, posters, logos and any other marketing materials you can think of. The reason why I am addressing this as the first of my blogs is because it is important for people to know the significance of graphic designers and that mostly everything you see throughout the day whether you are watching T.V or in the car driving, is made from one of us. Graphic designing interested me because I like to use my creativity as a way to catch the people’s attention and this is a good way to do so.

Some common misconceptions of graphic designers are that what they do is simple because they just move pictures around to make the design look good. Another one is that designing is cheap and easy and anyone can do it. The last misconception of graphic designers is that Photoshop is mainly used when we create our content for businesses.

To help with these misconceptions, graphic designing is actually difficult because one needs to be able to create content fitting for the business, create them in ways that will catch the target audience’s attention, and spend quality time trying to create a visual that not only the client approves of, but the audience as well. Designing is not cheap it actually can be quite expensive depending on the type of work that is asked to be done. And finally, Photoshop is not mainly used, a company usually brings in there own logos and designs to use, so it is up to us to create content for it that is fitting with what is wanted. The only time Photoshop is used is if in the visual, specific backgrounds are asked such as being in space.

I believe that for me to become a successful graphic designer, I need to continue studying different type of designs so that I can become more influenced and that will help me create better designs for companies. Graphic designing is an occupation where creativity is essential, and one needs to have the patience to not give up on creating a great visual for clients.
