First of all thanks to all team members of AllGraphicDesign and Elle, article nice and very fruitfull for everybody who wana graphic designer, I would like to introduce myself through this opportunity; I'm working in multinational company as Project Secretary, apart of this I have done my diploma in computer science and well familiar with JAVA, HTML, C++, MS Office, Photoshop (but not as EXPERT in any grphic software), other graphic software also. In spare time since childhood I painted in oil and water colors, pencil sketches, all is GOD GIFTED, never learned from any School of Art, my wish I become a Graphic Designer and change my current profession, but I belong from very poor family not afordable to join any school. My question is that is it possible to learn graphic designing easily and change my profession. Your Guide Line will help for me in future.
Thanks

Hi,
Great article..
I like many others, seem to have a flair for graphic design (and creative video editing), but do not particularly have artistic (drawing) capabilities. I use photoshop and getting better all the time, however I do understand I must learn proper graphic design principles, and also the other programs for page layout.. Couple of questions, if I invest in programs, Illustrator is probably a given, but Indesign? over Quark? (I have access to quark, however, I figured indesign would be easier to learn with it being Adobe..?) Also, as I work full time (I'm 36 yo with family/mort etc) any training needs to be distance learning.. Is there any recommended publications to learn from ? Is it possible to make a career with no formal qualifications ?
Thanks very much.
Regards
