Good things to major along with Graphic Design?

<p>Or minor like marketing or something? yeah.. thanks!</p>

<p>Ultimately, you’ve the options of

  1. improve your business acumen- marketing, advertising, accounting, business management, PR
  2. learn/develop a foreign language- either specific to your locality or think globally
  3. learn all the design programs the professionals use
  4. embrace a variety of mediums away from the computer- photography, life drawing, print making, illustration, textiles</p>

<p>1 and 2 would make good minors. 4 would make for excellent electives unless you found you really liked something and it became a joint major.
Some colleges let you design your own minor wherein a combo of 1 and 4 might be handy.</p>

<p>The best thing to do is research your favorite graphic designers. What skills do their portfolios display? How can you learn them?</p>
