Graphic design is so interesting because it’s a blend of old style art, which has been around forever, and computers, which are new technology. Graphic artists can produce some of the most amazing modern art there is, and corporations pay a lot for talented graphic artists. People become graphic designers by taking classes at college and getting a degree in graphic design. Courses last anywhere from one year to several years, depending upon the level of specialization the person chooses.
Good designers can design art on their computers that is absolutely amazing. A friend in college was really creative and really into using a photo editing program. He could take any ordinary photograph and create something that you would want to stare at for hours. Every detail that went into his graphic design was well thought out and created something amazing.
