<p>I'm going to be entering college as a Graphic Design major and I have several questions. Do you already have to have some sort of "better" artistic talent than the average person? Or is that just an advantage? I really like art, but I can't say that I'm good at it, in fact I would say I suck.</p>
<p>Anyways, what's the Graphic Design major like? Is it competitive? Will it be very difficult to find a job after graduating with let's say, a B.FA? It's almost 2 a.m for me and I'm probably just rambling on, but hopefully someone will be able to help answer some of my questions haha...</p>
<p>What school are you going to?</p>
<p>It’s actually more important that you have good ideas and design sense than that you can say…draw well.</p>
<p>In a marketting firm, you need to have great ideas! Campaigns that will change pop culture in a timeless way. Innovation in communication through every public media outlet, whether that means video, print, web, social media, events, guerilla, etc…</p>
<p>That said, some of the best graphic designers (milton glaser, sagmeister) could easily exhibit in fine art galleries.</p>
<p>So focus on your favorite successful artists and find out how they got there.</p>
