Augment your communications degree with a diploma/certificate from a design/tech school (like the Art Institute) which can teach you the basics of notebook design programs. If you by now know the design programs (the Adobe Creative Suite) then you can probably skip this and just work on getting a portfolio together — online and printed. Art Directors and corporations who hire designers just want to see excellent work that shows the skills needed to do the job.
I will also recommend Art institute but that requires money other choice is to volunteer at local graphic design studio and learn for professionals for free.
Possible you can get even a job if they like you.
Excellent lack
