The practical skill that I have is digital / computer designing. I had a passion for designing and art in my childhood and after my father bought me a computer when I was in class 7, I started my journey towards the designing

I still remember that I started my painting on MS- Paint and later on I learned 2-3 major designing software namely Photoshop and Illustrator. I took a 2-years diploma course on designing and have worked for the card, banner, poster, logo and web designing. Besides, I have learned how to build web pages after designing it

I have gained the skill by practising a lot. I read different books on designing how to and concepts, spent numerous hours on designing and learned many things from the teachers who used to take our classes. I have learned many designing aspects, tips and tutorials from different design related websites as well

Practice and the opportunity to work on several tasks helped me master the skill. I still need a long way to go and I am still a passionate designer. Besides my academic study, I still work on designing specifically on freelancing projects and that brings me a good amount of money

I am sure this skill will help me do even better in the professional sector in the future
