Now let's turn to be a graphic designer. To be a successful graphic designer you need to focus on certain things.
10 Tips to Successful Graphic Designer
1) Learning the Basics, Means Giving Utmost Importance To:
It's true that you don't need any formal knowledge to do graphic design. But to do graphic design you need to learn basic graphic design by heart. Only after learning the basics by heart will you be able to show your creative side.
2) Trust Online Courses!
As graphic design is now a globally popular skill, online courses are the most convenient way to learn it. You can get many online courses at home. But don't put your name in any course again. Choose the course which is most convenient for you. In this case I would tell you to take our graphic design course. I'll tell you why later.
3) Noting the Works of Established:
Are you interested in graphic design? Find famous graphic designers today and start following their social media profiles. See how graphic design is changing their lives. If you have any doubts about this, shake them off today. You will learn a lot from the established ones, get new ideas and most importantly, get inspiration.
4) Gather the Required Setup:
This step comes after you learn basic graphic designing. As you start working, you will gradually need different devices. Graphic design is not like writing, you can work with a laptop and some ideas. In this case, if it is difficult to add everything, keep adding slowly. If you think 'I will start working on the day when the whole setup arrives', your work may never start.
5) Need to Gain Real Work Experience:
Learn to make a kind of logo today? Imagine how that business will be and create an imaginary logo (who knows, this imaginary logo may become the reason for the birth of one of the world's best organizations later!) So slowly start doing real work.
Once you gain some confidence, start looking for jobs on various freelancing websites like Upwork, Fiverr etc. Real work experience will give you hands-on proof of what you are learning. And work is being done.
6) Want an Excellent Portfolio:
Say Haruto in Japan needs a graphic designer. Your strong self-confidence as a professional makes you the most qualified person for the job. But how do you understand Mr. Haruto? If you say it, he won't believe it.
That's why you need an excellent portfolio, where all your skills and work experience will be well organized. Remember this portfolio is your identity. By seeing this, the buyer or your employer will select you for his work among many.
7) Time to learn Professional Copywriting:
Be it graphic design or other web development, copywriting is a very important skill. That's why from the beginning, take care to master copywriting well.
8) Keeping abreast of Updated Design Trends:
The title tells you what to do. Design society is constantly changing around people's mentality. Your job is to keep track of these changes. Just knowing the trend is not enough. You have to keep in mind the previous design pattern, the change of design from one time to another etc.
9) More Emphasis on a Particular Aspect:
Graphic design is like an ocean. There are many types of work in it. You should have a little bit of knowledge about everything, but try to become a pro with maximum focus on any one. It is wiser to give maximum to any one subject than to master many things at once.
10) Never stop Learning!
You must have heard Ayman Sadiq Bhai's words. He has written a whole book under this name. Get this phrase 'never stop learning' into your brain.
At some point in learning graphic design you may feel like you are a professional, you don't need to learn anymore. But believe me, learning never ends. Also, graphic design is something to learn little by little. You won't master it in a few days. Even seasoned graphic designers are constantly learning new things.
Again, after the first few days of learning, you may lose interest. Even then, you can cover this line like a fool!
How to Learn Graphic Design?
I said it above, I'll say it again. Learning graphic design is not easy. Learning it requires willpower, patience, and proper guidance. You will find many graphic design courses online. Among them there are some excellent courses on websites like Coursera, Udemy, Khan Academy.
But the big problem is, first of all, almost all the courses are in English. No matter how good English is, the language barrier becomes a problem for many. So those of us who do not understand English very well, how can we learn graphic design? Secondly, most of these courses are not designed with beginners in mind. As a result, even after learning with great interest, it seems so complicated that many people give up.
