1. The ability to make memes

Everyone these days can't scroll through their Facebook feeds without coming across at least one meme, and with graphic design, you have the power to create your own. Whether it be an attempt of comedic genius, or just a bad photoshop job of one of your friends, with graphic design you will be the king (or queen) of Facebook among all your friends.

2. The ability to create a logo for anything

Starting a small business? Running for class president? Make it look professional by quickly creating a logo and wow everyone who sees it.

3. The ability to create posters

If you are ever planning an event and need to spread the word fast, the best way to do that is with a poster. If you know graphic design, you can create an eye-catching poster to draw in people's attention. It will be way more effective than just tweeting the info with plain text. Everything is so visual now; you need something to draw attention.

4. Odd job opportunities

So i know I mentioned before how you have the ability to crate logos and posters, but what if i told you can possibly do those same things but make money for it! Small graphic design jobs are a great way to make a little extra cash.

5. You become a member of the creative community.

Even if you know just a little graphic design, you are able to unleash a lot of creativity. Creativity is definitely something you need, and if you don't use it, you lose it. Graphic design is an infinite canvas that you can always work with.
