About 'graphic design and art'|Artisan Feature -- EdUB Graphic Art and Design
I've come to realize that much the information that young people today hoping to begin a career in graphic design is outdated or not communicated very clearly. It's actually one of the reasons I started blogging in the first place. It's 2013 and the most popular videos on graphic design and career advice surrounding it is nearly 10 years old… So much of graphic design has changed over the years, even in the last 2-3 years the scope of what people in the visual arts field do has grown and evolved. I'll be creating more videos to cover these topics but I wanted to create a basic video to introduce most of the direct questions I'm frequently asked both on Youtube and on my blog. What Does a Graphic Designer Actually Do? Graphic Designers do quite a bit, or at least they can. Graphic Designers do everything from create the key art for movie posters and album covers, to designing packaging, logos, print advertisements, billboards and the artwork and banner advertisements for websites, but this is not the limit to what graphic designers do by any means. What Skills Do Graphic Designers Need Most? Photo Editing and Retouching Page Layout Digital Print Production/Pre Press Typography and Logo Design Basic Web Design/ HTML/CSS/Javascript What Software Do Graphic Designers Need to Learn While its important to learn standard Microsoft Office Applications, its important to know about some other software like FTP, and online storage and backups. You also need a general understanding of certain computer hardware and accessories as well like: Desktop, Laptops, Tablets, External Hard Drives, UBS Flash Drives, Digital Cameras/Camcorders, Laserjet printers and Digital Drawing Tablets. As for Design related software the primary programs to learn are Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Illustrator as well as Adobe Acrobat. Adobe Photoshop will be your main go to program for creating key art, banner advertisements, background elements, 3D typography and other assets. Its the most common program used by designers. If you will be working more with Print, Packaging, or Multi-page documents like Magazines, Books or Newspapers, you will be combining Photoshop with InDesign, Adobe's page layout and Digital Pre Press program. If you are primarily and Illustrator or Logo Designer, then it is no surprise that you will be using Adobe Illustrator, Adobe's vector artwork application. There are alternatives to using the Adobe Applications but they are the industry standard for a reason and have recently been made more accessible thanks to the Adobe Creative Cloud Subscription program. Do I Need To Go To School to Become a Graphic Designer? The honest answer is…maybe. There are a lot of advantages to getting a design education, even if you do not get a degree in Graphic Design. If you decide pursue a different degree like Fine Arts, or some other related field you can fill a lot of your credits with Graphic Design courses and still leave your options open. Many great designers forgo schooling all together and are still very successful. I depends on your situation, skills, and learning style. |
