Mark Simpson, Graphic Designer
MY RÉSUMÉ
Licensed designers
In western Canada you don't need a license to be a designer. In fact, you don't need any sort of qualifications to say you are a designer. But in Ontario you do.
I worked very hard to get accredited as a designer. I went to school and belong to the Graphic Design Association. There are rules I have to follow when I'm doing design. For example, I can't do a logo for you if you're not going to pay me. I'll be thrown out of the association and I'll lose my credibility and undercut the profession.
