[Joan Angeles]

Hi everyone,

I am a nursing graduate but I didn't really pursue my career as a nurse. I ventured the online world and I found out that I really am having fun while earning money online. I was browsing jobs available online and I noticed most of the companies nowadays are looking for a graphic artist. I would really like to have or gain knowledge and skills in graphic designing. Can you guys tell me any useful tools for beginners like me?

Adobe Illustrator+Wacom is what you need to create a graphic design. You must start to download this software and learn tutorials from you tube.

I agree with you that PhotoShop is a good point to start for graphic designers but confusing why you choose Adobe Illustrator that not Corel draw?

I did list Corel Draw in that post. I have only used Adobe Illustrator myself, and not that much, so that is the only one that I can vouch for based on personal use.

They are both good programs with similar functions and abilities though and I hope to start working with Corel Draw one of these days.

Here are a few things you can do as a visual planner to keep focused of changes in visual communication.

I have not been through any schools or training programs for my graphic design needs. I have just kind of done things through trial and error and testing things out. I would like to try some kind of training because it will probably teach me many new things that I don't know now.

Have you tried any training courses for anything to do with graphic design? If you have, are there any that you would recommend?
