Graphic design is a useful tool for marketers to know, and it certainly would be a benefit to learn the skills of graphic design!  Here are some ideas to help you get ahead in graphic design.

• Keep your ear to the ground: there is a great deal to learn from influencers.  Something like 49% of people trust their close friends and family for recommendations about products – this includes influencers online.  Find a group of influencers on social media platforms and follow them for the latest tips and ideas from the industry.
• Collect inspiring works: when you begin to learn design, part of this is to curate a catalogue of work you think is successful.  This can be something like bookmarking websites you love, making use of Pinterest or saving images to a folder on your PC.  Similarly to the influencers, you will begin to recognise patterns and trends in your collection.
