Graphic Design
How do i start graphic design at age thirteen?
I am thirteen and living in Kansas. I am very interested in starting in graphic design and possibly making a career out of it, how should i start?
Start by getting all the books you can find about graphic design and learn the theory, at the same time start experimenting and working in the Adobe Creative suite. The 3 most used programs are Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, they are pretty tough to learn but they are the industry standard.
Second thing you should do is look for the portfolios, blogs, websites etc of good designers in the design world or you can scan deviantart for inspiration.
third: practice practice practice practice, never stop learning!
