Where did I learn to do designs?
I never learned. Its not somthing learned.
Its not somthing that can not be learned.
On the whole sense, design is what ever is given merit as "design" by others.
A common leaf is a design of nature, the patterns you see are the structures and whether or not you find it beautiful its still design.
Concerning graphic design professional's 99% are nothing more than copy cats and a singular "Designer" will be lucky in his life time to create somthing "Original" that is NOT like anything else persay.
Infact the pursuit of originality is the downfall of a designer should he or she attempt to create somthing original after doing so one time. Why? Other designers move in on the concept and tout it as there own.
How do I know this?
I am a designer that has created a few original works that to this day 80% of adult designer's follow.
I hate other designer's, I hate myself for being one. I could have done anything else with my life and probably came out more ahead than present if I had just refused the dance with the muses. Damnable sirens they are, dupe me to spilling my perception for others to gleefully run away with.
Tell your friend he is better off slitting his wrists. He will fail even in the small success's that designing will yield in small pitinance.
Tell em he is gonna be nothing more than just another wannabe hot shot in a puke ridden bathroom wishing he never made the mistake of being an artist or designer.
The first course he should take is Life 101.
