similarly, as we calculate ROI (return on investment) before doing anything if we calculate ROI for graphic designing it will only be extortionate if it is from a reputed institute so choosing the institute becomes one of the most indispensable parts.so let us look at the points that have to be considered before choosing a graphic designing institute.

• Experienced faculty – the experience of faculty is one of the most vital parts as the tools related to digital marketing can be taught by anyone or you can basically learn them for free from the internet as well but knowing how to use different software isn’t enough you have to develop a habit of being creative thinking outside of the box in order to complete any certain task which can only be learned well from the faculty who are experienced in that field.
• Placements– the placement factor may differ from individual to individual so if you are someone who just wanted to learn this might not hamper you much but talking about someone who is just doing graphic designing with the intentions of getting a job from the institute in this case placements plays very crucial so they have to check with the institute on different companies coming for placements and the packages they get as well as what types of roles that are getting offered.
• flexible batch timings – if you are someone who is working or going to college/school this might be the one thing which has to be checked for sure because most of the institute has one fixed time and if that somehow clashes with the other activity that might cause you to miss out on any of the one things and these sort of information might not be available online so make sure you visit that respective institute and have a word with the faculty or students.
• Internship/Live project – lots of people have big confusion between these two terms look in both live project and internship you will be working for an organisation under certain projects but the only thing that differentiates is the duration. if it is done for less than 6 weeks it will be considered as a live project and anything above 6 weeks is considered an internship. so very few institutes provide these sort of things but just check with the institutes else if you can ask those faculty whether they can provide you some internships through their references.
• Analyse the syllabus – syllabus differs from institute to institute so you have do a little bit of research and try to find the institute which is covering all the parts of graphic designing (you can find the syllabus on the respective institutes website).
• Fees – depending on the facilities that the institute provides you can check whether the fees is worth it not but most indispensably calculate the ROI(return on investment) look at the returns you might be getting after investing that amount also consider other factors as well apart from placements.
• Distance– this can be one the least important criteria .yes, travelling long to get to your institute might be fatigue but if you really think the institute is completely worth joining and you can learn the most there then this can be worth bearing.

These are some of the basic points to be taken care of before joining any institute. Apart from that here are some of the most popular myths about graphic designing that people come across and also some of the reasons to learn graphic designing.

MYTHS BEFORE LEARNING GRAPHIC DESIGNING

MYTH 1 – YOU HAVE TO VERY CREATIVE BEFORE LEARNING GRAPHIC DESIGNING

– it is one of the biggest myths about graphic designing you need not have to be a creative person from the beginning. during the initial phase, you will only be learning about the tools of different software so the focus should be on the basics as they are the most indispensable part initially as you get used to those tools after these part once you start doing the designs that is when your creativity will matter you need not to be a creative person from the beginning you just have to observe other design trying to learn as much new thing as possible related to graphic designing and once you try to learn new things and grow every day you will realize your creativity is getting improved

MYTH 2 – YOU NEED TO HAVE GOOD  DRAWING, PAINTING, AND HANDWRITING

– undoubtedly it can give you an upper hand but it doesn’t mean that you can not be good at it as we talked about how our creativity enhances with learning every single day similarly if you are the one whose drawing or writing is not that good you can fill that pothole with the help of that  

MYTH 3 – YOU NEED A HIGH-END LAPTOP OR PC FOR GRAPHIC DESIGNING         

– talking about high-end devices it is also one of the biggest myths it doesn’t mean you need to have all the things of the latest generation.yes some of the graphic designing software are quite heave but still if you manage and maintain your pc or laptop will you can able to run that software with ease.

MYTH 4 – GRAPHIC DESIGNING IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO LEARN

– most of the time we decide the expense based on the return/ value it provides but specifically talking about graphic design there are lot’s of online courses that are available for very less cost but the office courses are much better than an online one .as you are getting placements ,internships etc which make it worth the money .

REASONS TO LEARN GRAPHIC DESIGNING

CREATIVITY – it is actually not about being creative before learning it is the other way round you become more creative as you start learning and implement those things as try to learn as much as possible.

EXTRA SOURCE OF INCOME– if you are a student or a working professional you might look for an extra source of income and graphic designing is one of the skills which are always in demand so anyone with the required skill can freelance or work part-time.

 DEVELOPS LEARNING ATTITUDE – is the field of graphic designing there will be always something to learn so no one can be overconfident about the complete knowledge. as master Shifu from the king fu panda said “There’s always something more to learn, even for a master”.  As graphic designing skills are easy to acquire but difficult to master so there is always something new to learn.hence it developed a learning attitude in oneself.

ENCOURAGES TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX– as a continuation of the above point just because you can’t be completely satisfied with your work there is always a need of taking that extra mile so that you can make your work precise.

so if this is the thing which interests you go for it as it is said “one should never stop learning as life never stops teaching “ so it helps us to be compliant with this thing and helps us to cultivate the habit of learning.
