    I am by no means a Graphic Designer, but as a digital marketer, I have taught myself how to create graphics for various digital platforms over the years. That being said, I taught myself Photoshop at my last job (which ain't easy - I highly recommend a course for that!) and then discovered Canva at my current job (which is the super simple and user-friendly version of Photoshop—with less advanced features, of course!). Hope this helps!

    i went to an expensive school for it; but nowadays you can just take online classes and just practice, practice.

    Went to school for it. If you would like to go into graphic design as a career, you will need a BA or BFA in graphic design for sure.

    I got my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from a regular city university college. This program concentrated on fine arts only. Afterwards, I took continuing education design classes at a few of the top design schools in my area.
