It’s a pleasure to welcome you! My name is Debra, I am a graphic designer with 10 years of experience. At the moment I have my own online school where we teach graphic design and its directions.
I created this blog so that anyone who wants to pursue such a profession can understand and get into its essence. With the help of my articles you will understand what this profession is, what directions there are, and how it is easier and more productive to train to find your dream job.
Right now, almost any design profession has a fairly low entry threshold. The main thing is to learn the basics of composition, and learn the necessary technical skills on YouTube. Then you can safely go for an internship in some good design studio, where with a mentor you will pump up your creative thinking. All the rest: speed, quality, observation – will come with experience.
I often meet designers from different fields that have nothing to do with design. On the one hand, it is useful and helps to look at some things with a fresher perspective, based on unique experiences from the opposite field. But on the other hand, not understanding the basics of composition and ignorance of art history can stall professional growth in the early stages.
It is important to understand that the profession is transforming every day, with new technologies and problem-solving methods emerging. That is why a good specialist learns every day, throughout his career, and I consider it an invaluable plus.
