I am a B.com graduate but am interested in entering advertising or publishing world as a graphic artist or creative director.What shud I do?

Sure Ratan, you enter this field as an Artist and may get to become a Director if you're good. Take any creative subjects or arts or languages. I would recommend that as you study for your career, 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.

If any good Life Art or Method Art Classes are available in your neighborhood then take those classes (if you are near chandigarh then i can recommend some). Later on you may take up a course in Multimedia and animation or in design and graphics. Arena also offers such a Program Just for your knowledge. Animation draws the best out of a Creative Person. It offers a person to indulge in music, design, acting, direction, camera, voice design, character design etc. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.
