Anyone can be a graphic designer, but to be a great graphic designer. It takes lots of ingredients. Talent comes naturaly but skill is only developed through hours and hours beating on your craft. It needs creative flair, passion lots of passion & guts to do the things that most designers are scared to do, to take a leap of faith that it is going to be okay if you do this or do that. But before that you must know the principles of designing, such as layout, grids, colour theories, history (you must know what went before your time, in order to do new things) and then only you can break those rule like an artist.
