How to become a graphic designer?

Dear Anu, now the term is not only related to graphics , we call it CG industry , computer graphics industry , to build a strong career , you can get enrolled in a professional diploma or degree course with any of the leading institute . Also many of them offer advance diploma, diploma or specialization short term courses . If you can invest time, then i will always suggest for a course which is of minimum 3 years duration , if you feel you can't commit that much time then alternatively you can join a 18 month/ 12 month /6 months courses .

Anu, Take any creative subjects or arts or languages. I would recommend that as you study for your 10+2, you start practicing sketching to begin with. Try to observe things closely and sketch them. You can also buy good sketch books from the market for sketching including shading, shadows, and human figures. However, soon you may have to upgrade to more serious books like &quot;The Animator's Survival Kit&quot; by Richards William. Psychology and Literature are two useful subjects. Try to participate in Writing, Drawing/ Painting, Sports, Dramatics, Music, Singing etc. whatever is possible for you.
