A design it must fit to the audience if they like the design they will get it but in arts they're so many to consider about what should be the theme for it, texture is also consider. in this design and art it takes more time to do.

This a great question and I feel it's very timely because the graphic design space has become so trendy there are a lot of people who claim to be designers but really don't have what it takes. In my country, this has gone out of control because there's no governing body that says just because you didn't qualify, you can't set up a graphic design business.

I feel to be a fantastic graphic designer takes a lot of various elements including but not limited to:

- The formal skills that come with graphic design qualifications so you're able to interpret and understand industry practices such as brand standards an respond to and work with marketing request etc
- An eye for great aesthetics
- Attention to detail
- A strong sense of creativity
- The ability to draw inspiration from various sources
- The desire to educate clients because quite often, they are clueless
- Outstanding communication skills

i concur, this by far the best reply to this thread , willpower and "loving" what you do will never drag you to the top of any field you wish for, its about practice, practice and practice. its okay to do something for the profit of it, i don't really get why the cliche of don't do it for the money is still going on till now but that is so outdated and it only serves to downgrade your reputation from the very beginning,

For a designer to be good and recommendable is when he has a good creative mind, such as blending colors to beautify the advertisement and also, a good quality designer should be able to pass across the message simple and perfect

Great designers are curious and first and foremost, they observe, take notice and makenotes of things others overlook. A designer loves the special moment when she finds somebodyimplementing a DIY solution to compensate for poor design. ... Observation is the most primitive and pure form of research

One thing i have always mentioned is the fact that you need not be a very tech person to be able to make great designs, all you need is some good level of creativity and good use of the various programs, majorly their basics. The advanced knowledge may not be needed to produce great designs.

There are simple where you can know if you are truly a good designer and that simple way is that whatever job that is given to you by someone you must be willing and must be ready to sacrifice your time and do that work for that person to be happy if you have been achieving this then you are a good designer.

we have so many graphic designers these days but it'ss only very few that can give me what I want. Creativity is the key thing when it comes to graphic designs and you really have to put your time in it if you want to succeed in that space.

What makes one a good designer is his or her designs. The designs speaks for him or her. A good design has creativity and skills written all over it. One doesn't need to look far when checking a design to know if it is good or not.
A good designer gets recommendations because of his craft

 

[JamoPosh]

As they use to say practice make perfect. Constant practice, consistency, determination, time management, goals oriented mindset could make one a good graphic designer. And also do task you brain to achieve more than what is expected from you. Have someone you look upto like a mentor, try modeling his/her job so you can stay creative.

Depending on the kind of designer you are referring to here. A graphics designer has to be very creative and innovative. Such has to be able to bring up ideas. Have your own design patterns and models. Someone who's able to think out of the box and not have clients and customers tell him/her what to do before it is done.

I am sorry if this comment will discourage you. When I was learning website design in our office my boss had wanted a colorful logo for our company. But I had much difficulty in doing because I have submitted 5 times and still our boss did not approve of it. That's when I realized that designing needs not just the knowledge but the talent for visual arts. Now I admit that I am poor in that department so I do not dabble with graphic design unless it is for testing purposes only.

Unlimited ideas and wide imagination are just two of the more qualities a designer must have. Using alternative materials adds a charisma on designer's art which makes a client more interested.
