I was not able to reach degree designer

My old design
painting on silk

I realized that I could not go to school to college majors graphic design, my father's monthly salary is only enough for staple food, and often not until a month salary money has run out, so we had to find extra money simply just for staple food. But I'm not discouraged, drawing hobby and my dream to be like a designer still high.I often think, how to be a graphic designer without going to school.

Drawing is my hobby, perhaps because this was hard to stop, find get satisfaction every time drawing sketches, it seems there is no day without drawing. In my mind there is only drawing, I like man who are crazy by drawing. Whenever I see an empty paper always want to pollute with graffiti sketch.

It is the story of the past, a story of when I graduated from high school, now I'm not young, but until now I still draw, marry a woman and had three daughters. I'm happy with them. Their presence has given me the motivation to keep trying.


My ideals want to have a profession in the field of art and design is finally reached, I was never the slightest taste of the school of art and design, not also experienced design course, but I have long career just for this profession, ie design hand painting and graphic design, if so may I, if I get a degree as a designer, or designer title only for those who have school in college majoring in design. Uhh degree ... should I just forget about it. Maybe later.

My Old Design
painting on cotton

Although the work of my designs are not the best but I am quite successfully meet design order, I serve those who request made designs, such as logo design, brand identity design, design for textiles or other design, they liked it and paid work.

The final result of the work they agree and love, but maybe they will feel strange to see how I work, especially those of you who design school will laugh at seeing how I make designs, unusual not appropriate. In the past the way I make designs simply by hand painting but now I'm doing by combining the two ways, painting and computer.

My Old Design
Use Adobe Photoshop

I use the old Notebook for create the design, the notebook that I bought online from a website specialized in selling used items for $ 150, not a notebook for designers, very thick compared to notebooks current production, the LCD looks faded covered in dust with the hinges rickety, but he has worked hard to help me and my family, approximately he has succeeded in collecting money as much as $ 10,000 of the design work.

Thus the short story of my journey in his career, may be of benefit to you to keep trying. You get the ease of not wasted the opportunity, if I can keep the spirit of trying of course you are more well off should have more spirit than me.
