Zaara’s Answer

Hi De'Jon,

most people for traditional graphic design take classes in a community college (2 years) or at a university ( 4 years) or at some specialty trade schools such as School of Visual Concepts or the Art Institute. Some people just learn the software they need and start creating work without any classes. A more formal education is helpful since you will have more guidance and you will have a community of peers around you.

Best of luck, enjoy your creativity!

Cuong’s Answer

Hey De'Jon,


Going to school is usually the option. Having an associate can get you started for working in design work, with bachelor, your chances are higher. That being said, if you want to create video game design, it's different from graphic design but still a creative job.


You can actually learn how to make games. There are three game engine software you can try.

Unity 3D

Unreal

GameMaker


They are free to use and you can create your first game on these. I used Unity 3D to create my first game, coded in C#. Unity is a great beginner game engine if you don't know how to use the program and write in C#.


Cuong recommends the following next steps:

Before you choose. Try learning about graphic design and game design. To get an understanding what's the difference.
If you want to do game design, try Unity 3D. There are tutorials on Unity as well. Learn how to write in C# or C++.
If you want to do graphic design, try using Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. This is what print/graphic designers use. If you want to do motion graphics, try using After Effects.
