People tell me I have a raw talent, and I can tool around in illustrator and photoshop, but I need to hone my skills in order to make it farther than just this podunk town.<br /><br />Again, thank you.

I need to incorporate that in a sentence at work tomorrow some sort of way. I don't have the patience for graphic design although people claim I could do it. I beg to differ. I have to have instructions for designing, but some people can create naturally. You need to use that natural talent.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371841750506260427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-79571283549899774032011-04-21T17:19:36.005-06:002011-04-21T17:19:36.005-06:00I'm a graphic designer by trade and it's a...I'm a graphic designer by trade and it's an extremely hard profession (not at all glamorous as people think). Late nights, concepts, sketches and amends, oh jeebus the amends can kill you! But having said that it can be really rewarding knowing that you have fulfilled a brief and presented something to the client, that fulfils their needs and propells the business forward. I wish you luck with this. I would say invest in learning Adobe Illustrator, Indesign and photoshop. Lynda.com is really good for tutorials. Staying up to date is key! Look at websites like FFFound and It's nice that for design inspiration. Take time, a good design is like planting a seed, it starts with an idea then the designer cultivates it until it's larger than life. Then he/she preens it, trims and cuts off the dead bits! Leaving a perfectly healthy plant!<br /><br />If you want any tips or me to critique the stuff you have posted properly (with suggested improvements) just give me an email and i will be happy to help you out and give you some tips and advice.Alice Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126775978614384719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-46293257224267201882011-04-21T00:39:52.482-06:002011-04-21T00:39:52.482-06:00I think you have alot of potential to turn that in...I think you have alot of potential to turn that into a career!
