Education
Education = Value
The key to doing well in any industry is to be the very best you can be. In a competitive field such as this, it is important to move to the top, and stay on top. This will only happen if you work hard, and think outside the box. Don’t settle for average, work hard and achieve great things in your designs. If you create great logos, and work hard to refine your skills, you can be successful in logo design.
Make choices early in your career that will help build an impressive portfolio and resume. Where did you go to school? What does your portfolio consist of? How long have you been designing? These are all choices that you can make, that will affect the way you move throughout the industry.
Education is the best way to create value in your product. When you sell your design work, you are essentially selling yourself. Your design work is only as good as your education, skills, creative ability and experience. If you spend your life seeking education, and training in design, you will be ahead of the rest. Make education a priority. Create value in your product. Start as early as possible building a resume and portfolio that no one can pass up. If you educate yourself, and take every opportunity to learn and grow, during your education and throughout your career, you will find yourself with opportunities that will change the rest of your career. If you take the time to learn all you can, you will have the freshest, most innovative techniques, and create designs that will withstand the competition.
