Education and Training Requirements
High School
While in high school, take any art and design courses that are available. Computer science classes are also important, particularly those that teach page layout, digital design, Web design, animation, or the editing of art, video, and photographs. Other useful classes include English, speech, marketing, and social studies. Working on the school newspaper or yearbook can provide valuable design experience.
