Entering The Field And Becoming 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.

Creativity is not created overnight but rather it is a skill that is acquired through constant practice. Now if a person is really inclined to the arts side, then he probably would have enjoyed going to art class in school and making random drawings. Some people just enjoy playing around with art as compared to others.

With this inclination towards the arts, one should now think about taking up a degree in fine arts when he goes to college as that is what he enjoys doing anyway. Good courses include communication arts, information design, graphic arts, advertising, or even advertising management. If he has a proper degree, then the chances of him going big time is very high.

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 if one would want to become an ad artist, these are the things that he will do. Being an artist is all about being different and creating an idea that no one else has. If one has this quality, then he is already set out for success.
