So, you want to be a graphic designer? Follow these 7 rules and you’ll be on your way to becoming a successful graphic designer.

1. Don’t start your design process in the physical world

The magic of design happens in your mind. So relax and don’t put pressure on yourself to put something down immediately on paper. People often think you need to be sitting at a computer to design, but you’re more likely to come up with inspired designs when running or lying in bed or doing whatever it is that frees up your thoughts.
