There's no better way to improve communication skills than reading. Read newspapers, magazines, online news portals, novels - fiction/non-fiction - and you will be able to improve your vocabulary and grammar. Once the vocab and grammar is in place, start speaking in that language (English/Hindi-whichever language you're aiming for here). You might be hesitant at the start, but isn't that how each one us start learning how to speak? :)

Hi Dhruv,
Just answered this question, will share again;
To be a good designer, a formal education does help, but, to be a good designer you need to be a artistic/visualiser, someone who sees this world from a very different lens, rather than zeros and ones. Also, a very important factor to be a good designer is/are not software/s but how well can you think/visualise from everybody else, how well do you understand your audience and their requirement and design accordingly
On the contrary, if you design for yourself, then its imperative that you bring out your thoughts in such a manner that they connect with the audience instantly. Bottom

I don't think so, totally depends on your aspirations and goals, but yes, it definitely, adds to your value as a designer. The most important fact needs to be; you to be a good designer first. Degrees can follow.

Hi Pihu,
It totally depends on the curriculum and your due diligence, as to how seriously you stick to your study schedules. Per me, Design, be studied regular, as meeting faculty and fellow students from diverse backgrounds, gives varied insights into cultures, lifestyles, which in turn helps a designer in his/her creations.

Hi Ramesh,
For the same, you can try looking at MICA. Frankly, I don't know about this institute you mentioned, hence I will not be right for me to comment about them.

Hi, Vlogging is the next big thing in India. In fact, already close to being the next being thing. With social media and internet controlling our daily lives and TV taking a back seat, Vlogs giving genuine reviews/creating innovative content have made way into our lives. In fact, Vlogging can be pursued as a side business along with any main stream profession that you might like to stick with. This being said, full-time Vlogging is definitely a career option.

Hi Keshav, There are numerous private institutes; Arena, MAAC, Picasso, ZICA to name a few
But if you are looking for degree courses then I would suggest; College of Arts, and for post graduation, you can choose, NID.

Very important question Akshita. A good designer should always;
1. Be very calm, patient, relaxed
2. Be open to criticism/feedback
3. Be a good listener, to understand the audience's requirement and covert those into tangible/measurable output
4. Be open to ideas, whosoever is giving them
5. Be aware of the latest trends, not only in ones domain but related domains as well
6. Be a team player
7. Be a good communicator, verbally, in writing and most important via ones designs.

Hi, I wouldn't really suggest a distance learning course in Print & TV journalism - because it wouldn't give you the desired practical knowledge, which is a must. Journalists aren't paid really well - so if you're expecting engineer/doctor-like salaries, this isn't for you. But that being said, you'll be able to have a decent living with the remuneration they're given.

Hi Keshav, Coaching does help in reducing the lag time to analyse and answer the questions, quickly. Also, coaching also gives you an insight to trends over the years, to be a better designer.
