So if I want to be a Graphics Designer, do I need to be good at art? Like drawing and stuff. I like to do a lot of 3D Art and Photoshop and things like that but I haven’t been drawing much in my life, and I kinna suck at that. My biologocal dad was an amazing artist so I probably got that from him and with enough practice I could get really good at drawing. However, for CG and those digital field do I need to be a really good in art? Like Drawing, etc.

I already have a computer-related degree, plus I took some art classes in college.
always was an incredible artist,thats what i’ve heard all my life.
plus i’m good with gimp and other graphic design software.
plus i learn new stuff fast on the fly.
plus i can already code html and css websites from scratch and incorporate my gimp created graphic art into my coding work.

I’m gonna start a web design and graphic art design business to supplement my income.
I just have to build a portfolio now!

@joebg1 with html css and coding languages, it would be wise to start coding at an early age. I can code 10 different languages, have made thousands on websites and i am only 15. And most important im not a nerd, actually have a life lol.

Comment on Rearrange It! – How to Start an Interior Redesign Business by Business Pro

Review by Business Pro for Rearrange It! - How to Start an Interior Redesign Business Rating: I bought this book along with her book, Home Staging for Profit. Both are excellent resources for starting a redesign or staging business, particularly if you want to combine both businesses into one. Sure beats taking an expensive seminar. Highly recommend both books because it seems foolish to do one business without doing the other one too. Jennings is a very good writer and very personable. She really makes everything very practical and easy to understand. Her advanced section on marketing a business is outstanding.

Review by Joanne M. Wright for Rearrange It! - How to Start an Interior Redesign Business Rating: As an Interior Designer, I became curious about the Redesign business.
I picked up Barbara Jennings beginning book and felt that it gave practical business advice. For example: pay yourself when you receive money from a client. Most people forget to do this and put all of their fee back into the business. Also her arrangement samples are excellent. She does mention her other products but I feel that the average person gets enough from the book to use in there own business. Joanne Wright

Review by designerchic for Rearrange It! - How to Start an Interior Redesign Business Rating: As an interior designer, I was looking to expand my business into the home staging arena, but wasn't really interested in spending thousands of dollars on one of those 3-day courses. After ordering and reading the reviews from the author's Home Staging for Profit: How to Start and Grow a Highly Profitable Home-Based Staging Business, I stumbled across this book and am very thankful that I found it. As a designer, it provided knowledge that I already was trained in, however I thought it was a good refresher, because it reminded me of things that I had forgotten. I thought the author did a great job again in providing an in-depth guide about interior redesign. I found this book as well as her other to be quite informative, easy to read and chalked full of great tips and examples. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in running their own interior redesign business.

Review by Another for Rearrange It! - How to Start an Interior Redesign Business Rating: I was one of those people who almost took an expensive seminar to learn how to do this business. How fortunate I am to have run across this excellent book on the subject instead. It was much larger than I expected it to be and packed full of just the kind of information I was hoping to find from how to get started, how to conduct appointment, how to set up and so forth. Not only does the author share her knowledge and experience generously, but she provides access to many additional resources she also provides to give you a well-rounded education to do the business with confidence. This book is filled with practical guidance and I will refer to it often, I'm sure.
