Do you have to have a graphic design degree to get a job doing graphic art?
Asked by Justin A
I have a Business/Marketing degree and want to get a graphic design job. What do I need in order to do this. I'm experienced in photo shop and the dreamweaver programs???

Best Answer:
Lots of times companies hire graphic artists even if they don't have college education...BUT they are very good at what they do. I'm in high school and one of classmates is basically an expert at photoshop, paint shop pro, and all those other graphic art programs. He was hired at a advertising company that's very well known in my city. I think since you do have a degree in Business/Marketing you'd be a very important asset to a graphic design company. Graphic art is like painting...You don't have to go to school to be very good or very successful at it. Be sure to have a portfolio of your work before applying. These days everyone knows the basics of photoshop and other graphic design software so you have to be very familiar with the program and you'd probably have standout much more than the average Joe. Good luck! =] x
