Why I got into Graphic Design
"There are three responses to a piece of design - yes, no, and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for - Milton Glaser
Before even considering Graphic Design, I knew I always had a creative side more than a Mathematical side. Because lets be honest, most of us aren't good at Math. Since I didn't have the skills to be a mathematician, I had to look for something that would suit me more. Since I am more creative I looked into Graphics and find it enjoyable, I get to create things of my own if the client approves the work of course but I get to be myself when doing something like this which I found out about a year ago. It now teaches me about color, spacing, typography and other useful things that I will be able to use in the near future.
Graphic Design has been treating me well so far, its a whole lot of work because this isn't easy, I had some trouble getting to where I am right now and truly feels rewarding once you get better with Graphic Design. Also don't give up when your in trouble, keep pushing forward.
What I've learned
When I got into Design I got into a course that would improve my skills as a Graphic Designer and it helped a lot. The course took 3 years of Design classes (Grade 10-12) and shoved it into our heads. Got to say, it's a lot of information in a year. It still helped because it's better to learn in a short amount of time than having the course being two years longer than it is.
I got to learn the programs Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign in the course. My teacher taught them to me well and eventually got the hang of of it. Not only that but they taught me how to do typography and how its important in Graphic Design, also about color and how also that important as using the wrong colors will make the piece look odd. Apart of all that they also taught me some of the tools and machines that Production rooms would have and how to use them, like Dye Sub, Laser Cutter, and Ink Printer. Basic Things that would help me in school or a job that has these machines or programs.
The Future
"I Strive for two things in Design: Simplicity and Clarity. Great Design is born of those two things."
I do want to do something with my life, I do want to go to school and get an education in Graphic Design or even Animation as two of those are enjoyable to me. I still have a ways to go and I need to pick one or the other, it will be a rough choice for me because there are different reasons for choosing them but I do hope to choose one of them so I can enjoy life while doing my dream job.
I hope you enjoyed reading, it took a lot of effort and time making this post and I hope you return in the future.
