who was it that said their occupation was a GRAPHIC DESIGNER?

not me i want to be an aerospace engineer and then own my own strip club!

It was me..why?

what qualifications do you need?

You need to know your stuff.

thats not what I'm asking but thanks for the tip.

Did you ever do any graphic design? Or something artistic? Painting? Digital art? THat's where it usually starts. And then you need to know your software (Photoshop, Quark Express, Illustrator). So art school or industrial design schools are where you might want to go.

Not sure it is something you can just learn though. Some have managed it, but I think the ones that make a success of it generally have some kind of flare for the artistic before they get started.

Though that is not always the case.

Lara probably has that when she wants that job.

Well it never hurts to mention it. Sometime in our enthusiasm to achieve things we often forget the obvious.

true

Some people are just born with an artistic flair, just don't go taking it all too seriously and cut your own ear off Lara.

I maybe mad, But I'm not that mad!.
anyway I'm the natural drawing talent in my household.
I wish I had a scanner to show you some of my work but I dont.
anyway I have to start at the bottom of the ladder because my school wouldnt let me do GCSE ART.*face of frustration*

What do schools know? I got a big fat "F" in technology at school (another buzz word for engineering) and now I'm a partner in my own engineering business. Life never works out how you think, my brother for instance studied for 4 years to be a chef and now he's a welder. Go figure.

Lara, in the end the artistic talent is probably more important than knowing the programs right now. You might be smarter to focus on your drawing skills right now and start to take up learning some of the promgrams in a year or two.

Thanks Dim.
At the moment I'm planing to do a computer graphics course and art and design course at collage both at foundation level.
But at the moment I'm studying Graphic products at GCSE level.
I draw, yes, indeed I do but I seem to have a fasination w/ eyes and womens faces, I dont know why?
