- Most graphic designers are required to possess a bachelor's degree or associate's degree to begin a job. Also, employers prefer someone with at least one to two years of experience, which can be obtained by freelancing.
- Designers work on a PC or Mac computer and primarily use Adobe Creative Suite software.
- Around 25 percent of graphic designers are self-employed. Many designers do freelance work, which is done from home. Magazines and newspapers also serve as popular places of employment for designers.
- Freelancers can telecommute. Through email and online file-sending services such as YouSendIt.com, designers can reach out to just about anyone.
- The more freelance jobs, internships and years of experience a designer has is imperative. Employers want someone best suited for the job and with the most design experience.
