The other day, I interviewed my Uncle Peter about his job as a graphic designer because I had no clue what that was.
Me: What is a graphic designer?
Uncle Peter: A graphic designer is not like an architect or engineer, instead you design a label, or the packaging for a company
Me: Is there a school for that?
UP: For my job, I don't. Others, though, do if they are designing from scratch. My job is to add more details on that persons design. Although, I plan to do that soon.
ME: Are you satisfied with this job?
UP: Yes. Even though I may not have a big salary, it's way better than my former job as an accountant because it's more interesting than numbers
Me: So you use to be an accountant? For what company?
UP: For Astragraphia, the sole distributor of Xerox machines in Indonesia
Me: How did you get this job?
UP: Actually, I got a job in different part of the company and I stayed there until there was a position available in the graphic department. The boss there thought I already was a graphic designer, because of the name of where I used to work, but once she knew I can't, she said she could teach me, and I stayed since.
That's all I asked my uncle about his work. If I learned anything from that interview, I learned that it takes nothing to be a graphic designer.
Interesting interview--my wife is a graphic designer too. She might disagree with your assessment that it "takes nothing" though. : )
ReplyDeleteP.S.--Pay attention to spelling ("coz," "r u," etc.) and capitalization. The beginnings of your sentences are particularly atrocious.
Maybe one day I might actually want to be a graphic designer......but then I want to be a lot of other things to.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, I did it at night. I felt lazy, but now I edited it,
