How To Become An Ad Artist

By Rena Hudson


Advertising is a field that is mainly for the creative people because it is them that will be making the end products and showing it to the clients so that it can be used for their own advertising goals. Artists have the power to create something out of nothing and make a great piece of work. An ad artist will be expected to not only create something beautiful, but something that will sell to the consumers.

Being a creative person is a process and is a skilled that is developed and honed over time. A lot of people start when they are in high school when they attend their arts class and start drawing pictures or fold colored papers to make cards or something. It is actually this simple inclination towards the arts that would serve as a foundation for anyone who wants to pursue this field.

If one is really adamant on pursuing becoming a advertisement designer, then he should really take up a course on fine arts so that he can get into the field. He may take up a course like communication arts, advertising, information design, graphic designing, or anything that is similar. With this degree he may get into a good advertising agency.

Although a college course will be able to help a person learn what advertising and the media is all about, it is best for him to still delve deeper into the technical aspect of advertising. This means that he should take up extra classes or another workshop on how to use picture editors and creators. Since he will be using the computer almost all the time for his work, he must be very well versed with the software.

If one feels like he has already been equipped with all the knowledge that he needs, then he can sign up for an internship. By doing this, he is simply gaining experience so that he will be able to get into the top agencies or companies. He will be needing all of this experience so that he will be able to have a nice resume and some samples in his portfolio.

If he cannot find a good place to be an intern, then he may also find some work online. Many small companies are hiring new artists that are looking for some cash and some experience. This is actually an easier and more practical thing to do because one can work at home and at the same time be able to have some works for his portfolio.

Of course qualified artists will be able to get good positions in media companies, big advertising agencies and may even find work as a private artist for big companies. However, if one would want to land this kind of position, then he would have to work extremely hard. It takes a lot of patience and effort to reach this level.

So basically, these are the things that an ad artist will do and go through. Take note that this is a very demanding job and only the ones who stand out will become successful. This field is all about being different from everyone else.
