By Christa Jarvis


If one is the rather artistic type of person who likes to create advertisements and other visuals, then he might want to consider becoming a graphic designer. Of course in order to boost up his career, he should try working for one of those graphic design firms minneapolis so that he can hone his skills. For those who are interested in this particular field, here is an idea of how his work will be like.

Now if one would want to go into this type of firm, he first has to know what exactly they do. Basically firms like these exist in order to make certain advertisements for those clients who need to communicate their brand through visuals. Of course the ones who will be creating these ads would be the designers.

Now first of all, one has to remember that when he enters a firm, he would be working with other designers for specific projects. This means that he would be working together with a team to be able to come up with a certain visual output. It is for this very reason that one has to be a team player.

Of course he not only will be working with his fellow designers. If he is creating a billboard, he would also be working with copywriters and if he is working on something that has to do with television ads, then he will be working with a production team. The people that he will be working with will depend on what project he is working on.

Now one thing that he would be doing a lot when working here would of course be sketching. Most people would ask why designers would still have to sketch their ideas when they can already put it in the computer right away. Well the answer to that is simply because it is easier to first draw the design with a pencil and then put it in the computer later.

Now aside from sketching, one will actually be working in front of the computer a lot. Of course he would be designing layouts and creating advertisements using the computer. It is actually for this reason that one must have very profound knowledge on how to do computer layout and design because he will be doing this most of the time.

Now most of the time, he would be doing a lot of image manipulation wherein he would take photos and editing them with the computer. It is for this reason that he has to have extensive knowledge on how to use art programs like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. He is also the one to be in charge of creating the layout and design of websites.

For those who are interested in taking up this kind of job, here is an idea of what it is like. Now these are just some of the things that one will be doing. There are so many more things that he will be doing but all will involve creativity.
