As this infographic shows, you should have different skills that you can exploit while getting or working as a graphic designer. These include photography, art directing, and maybe even a bit of product design. Being a graphic designer gets you to work with all sorts of imagery, but when resources fall flat, as they often do at times, it may be up to you to create that imagery as well. Imagine working with photos when you were the one who captured them in the first place? It’s an easier task, isn’t it? And not only will this be easier, but you’re also guaranteed to impress your bosses and clients as well.
Sounds like a win-win situation. And if you further develop your other skills and make use of them during your projects or your work, you’ll soon find that becoming a success in the field just got a whole lot easier.
