Is it possible to step into a career as a Graphic Designer without a qualification?
I am extremely interested in a career as a Graphic Designer. Is there such thing as a Freelance Graphic Designer? I am skillful in many aspects of Graphic Design, however, I would like to know how to take the first step into this career path. Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated.
I don't have any specific qualifications. I would love to take part in a part time, evening course, but due to wormk commitments I haven't had time to actually enroll for anything like this.
Yes.. it's a very easy career to get into. You just need a computer and software and some artistic talent. (you sound like you already have those).
Just start by making your own website, and then approaching local businesses to offer your services. Do free work, posters, flyers and the like for local charities, churches etc and put your contact details at the bottom. Go to the local print shops and find out about what formats they need work in. Leave your own flyers there. Put your flyers through the mailboxes of every business in you city. market yourself. Make up some business cards and have them ready to hand to people you meet who might be interested in your services one day.
If you're reasonably good, and don't over-charge, you'll get lots of work.
Qualifications don't matter at all. It's not like being a doctor where someone gets hurt if you mess up. If your work is good, that's all that matters. Studying can be good, because you will learn, but the qualification doesn't matter.
edit: as the others say.. don't worry about chasing a "job" as a graphic designer. It's the kind of thing you have to do yourself, self-employed.
