A qualified graphic designer needs to have the following abilities
(1) Have his own style
Style can be regarded as a designer's signature. If you are designing for a specific audience, then a style that is familiar to that audience will become an important design tool. Every designer should have his or her own style. Because every project you work on is unique, your style will leave a lasting impression on your audience.
(2) Project Management
When managing a project, leadership is one of the key qualities of a designer. Taking on a new project means managing your authority appropriately so that your project can run efficiently and effectively. Before you dive into a new project, make sure you have reasonable authority.
(3) Typesetting
Typesetting requires a sufficient understanding of fonts, appropriate line heights, word spacing, and tracking. The advertising industry was originally designed to convey messages, so clean, readable, and well-designed typography was required.
(4) Creative thinking
For a graphic designer, a very important ability is to transform some incomplete materials into a stunning work. Designers should be able to express clearly in images what others want to express in words. The image may not be clear at first, but this is usually when creativity comes into play.
(5) Network of interpersonal relationships
To succeed, it is very important to obtain the guidance and support of others. This is especially true for designers, who spend most of their time in offices and studios. Building a network of people who are interested in your career will be an effective approach.
