For those high school students who are interested in a career in graphics design, many have wondered if it really is that essential for them to attend a college, university or design school to get their degree or certification in Graphic Design.
Although you may be good at sketching or painting and other forms of artwork, or can use software such as Photoshop, Illustrator or Flash and think you can design well and are able to find a position within a company, you are lucky…that may not always be the case.
However, what a person needs to remember is that being a graphics designer is not just about being creative and being able to use certain software packages. In fact, it is about being able to visually solve a problem, as well as meet all the needs and requirements of a client. You are not there to make something look cool, but rather to sell the product or an idea in a way that is visually captivating for the client’s target audience.
By attending a good graphic design school, university or college, it will help to mold and shape the person into being able to do just that.
Although you could, if you wish, learn on your own, you will need to be well disciplined. The reason being: there are a lot of elements to the role of a graphic designer which you will need to learn about.
You will need to learn about design theory, typography (art and style of printing) as well as about the history of art. By learning about the history of art you will be able to see for yourself what a good or bad design was, historically.
Although you may find it difficult to know which of these you should make your priority, a good graphics design program will have everything that you require set out within the syllabus of the course.
