Graphic designers basically conveys information through brochures, advertisement etc. While some graphic designers work in special designing firms, the others work by themselves.

You should try be to be more creative and get a graphic design degree in college. Before there was not much of degrees but now as there is more competition, a degree is required. You can do a lot of internships of beginners  so as to get a creative portfolio.

Hope this helps!
