At the moment design and art is a hobby of mine. I would like to one day make a living out of my design skills that I have taught myself. Would I need a degree to show employers that I can design or is a portfolio more important to prospective employers. An article I read stated that education in this field is very important and then he contradicts himself saying that not once in over 20 years has he ever shown his qualifications to an employer. What is the best way for someone like me to get experience in this field eg do voluntary work? I mean look at dbm and his partner phong both are self taught
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
