You might have witnessed a lot of creative book covers, inspiring illustrations, and interactive posters in your day-to-day life. All these, collectively, are graphic designs. In other words, any form of communication that uses graphics or drawing is called graphic design and can be created by a graphic designer. Letters, colour, patterns, illustrations, photographs, information: graphic designers play around with all of these and create attractive and innovative visual designs.
Every industry today requires a graphic designer to create their corporate logos, product packaging, digital interfaces and other forms of visual communication. Graphic designers are required in the advertising industry, print as well as digital media companies, IT companies, FMCG brands, financial industries, and many other similar sectors.
Graphic designing courses are available for those who are interested to be a part of this fast-growing industry and meet the increasing demand for trained professionals. But even before you join a graphic designing training institute, it would be of help to know a little more about the various must-have skills of graphic designing.
Creativity
This might seem obvious: creativity. Every discipline where you need to create something new requires some sort of creativity. However, creativity is often misunderstood and is even considered as an ability to draw, paint or sculpt. To become a graphic designer, what you need is a creative mindset. This will enable you to master almost every stage of the design process: from coming up with innovative ideas to developing and designing new concepts.
Understanding of Typography
This is the making of various typefaces, with complete knowledge of point size, tracking (the space between all characters used), kerning (the space between two specific characters), and leading (line spacing). Typography skills are a fundamental part of any graphic designer’s skills set list.
Familiarity with Page Layout Creation
Page layout is all about the look and feel of a printed page. This includes aesthetic alignment of images, text and the agreed style-sheet on a page.
Knowledge of Interface Designing
Today, with the increasing use of the internet, mobile, and social media, a graphic designer also has to think about website layouts and user-interface designs to enhance the interactive experience.
Software Skills
It is unlikely that you will become a graphic designer without a good grasp of at least Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Hence, it is important to enrol in a course that not only trains you in the fundamental concepts of graphic design, but also gives you a firm grasp of the industry-relevant software.
To be a graphic designer, you must learn the appropriate application of all the necessary tools. A graphic design course can guide you to acquire the right skills set and make your career a success.
Communication Skills
Communication is an important skill for a graphic designer. Graphic design, simply put, is the “effective visual communication of an idea or concept”. Hence communication is at the very heart of what a graphic designer does. You will need top communication skills to collaborate with your clients to understand them better, even before you start designing. You will also be collaborating with your team, account managers and so many other people on an everyday basis.

At first look, Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom might appear quite similar. But each program is designed with a different purpose in mind, and each offers a distinct post-production photography undertaking.
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is the go to tool with unlimited creative possibilities. Over the years it has become synonymous with ‘photo editing’ itself. How many times have we heard, “it’s Photoshopped!”
Photoshop is used for heavy image editing purposes. You can even create images & designs using this. Even though quite popular among photographers for retouching, Photoshop today is widely used by numerous professionals including graphic designers, web designers, animators, VFX artists, publishers and architects.
Strengths of Photoshop:
Pixel-level editing – This means, you can edit even at the tiniest level
Comprehensive design & manipulation – Limitless manipulation is possible. Both raster and vector images can be created from scratch.
Layers – As this software allows you to keep different edits on separate layers, you can modify or enhance any layer independently.
Compositing – Using ‘Masking’ techniques you can protect specific parts of the photo while working on other areas.
Toolbox – There is a huge library of tools at your disposal. And more comes with every update.
Adobe Lightroom
Adobe Lightroom is an image editing program. But that’s not the complete picture. It’s an image management program too. Unlike Photoshop, Lightroom offers an all-in-one solution to organising, editing, and publishing your photographs.
As a database-driven image management software, it provides the user with the ability to organise and catalog their photographs according to camera type, lens type, date, location and various other criteria. This helps you make a set of basic adjustments to a group of images according to the criteria you define. Those criteria are called presets. You can either have your own preset or import presets from other photographers.
Strengths of Lightroom:
Ability to process RAW files – It accepts RAW files straight from your camera.
Image management – You can organise your images as you import them.
Easier to learn – With a simpler interface and efficient workflow, this software can be handled well even by beginners. However, you must learn Photoshop to efficiently use it.
Conclusion
In short, Photoshop is used for graphic design as well as high-end photo manipulations & edits. Meanwhile, Lightroom is used for quickly organising the entire library of images and making the basic edits to all of them at a time.
Basically, it all depends on the nature of your work, and there’s no right or wrong choice.
