How do I become a Graphic Designer?
I am a 42 year old former senior manager. I gave up my job and I am looking for a change. My previous job was not very creative, and since leaving I have been studying photography, Photoshop etc. and really enjoy it. I’d like to try a career in design/photography of some sort, obviously I would have to get back on the bottom rung of the career ladder but maybe my management skills would help in some way. What would be the best way to get into graphic design and what training should I undertake? I desperately need a job with a creative side, it makes me feel like a different person when I am being creative. I can’t go back to my old life!! Suggestions on mid life changes in general as well as graphic design most appreciated!!
