Graphic Design


Question Posted Tuesday April 28 2009, 10:30 pm

I've received a lot of conflicting information about working as a Graphic Designer/Graphic Artist. Some sources say you need a degree in Graphic Design, and other sources say it is preferred, but not necessary. Which one is correct? Does anyone have any pointers on breaking into this industry?

You don't need a degree, but you will not get preferential consideration without it. That area is very competitive and the degree will put you in better standing, as with any competitive career. Not to mention, jobs pay better if you have a degree.

Without a degree, you may find work in a small company for less pay, which is not the end of the world, but, to further your career, get the degree.
