I was hoping someone could help me fix up a couple things a re word some stuff. It's really hard to get your point across! Can someone give me some examples of what to say on how you need to know how to draw to become a successful graphic designer? please and thanks

Graphic communications is one of the most profound industries in the world. It finds its way into every aspect of daily life, through album covers to paintings on the sides of buildings.

Graphic Design embraces change. It makes those who are planning on being in this career require them to learn new and diverse skills. I came across an interview that really helped me understand what you need to survive in this fast paced industry. One thing that baffled me was that you could get a job as a graphic designer without being able to draw… this really got me because I believe that you need some background in drawing. A lot of people now don’t have the training in form, colors, typography etc. They only know what programs to use and how to use them. ‘You are always the victim of the software somebody has already prepared for you. Undoubtedly these tools can be used inventively.’ You really need a sense of design to make art stand out over the rest.

I don't think you need the first sentence to be attached to the rest of the paragraph it doesn't seem connected to the subject of the rest of the paragraph. Really what you are talking about is how drawing/traditional training is a fundamental step in becoming a graphic designer and how you disagree with simply letting computer programs design artwork that is lacking a signature touch.

Make sure you don't use contractions in the final version (don't, can't) spell it all out.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks so much!
